DIY F1 wheel RB mod

[kimi69]

After watching many people on this site making some beautiful wheels decided to make one by myself.Speaking in Top Gear words-well,how hard can it be?
Carbon fibre ,10 push buttons,knitter switches for gears, potentiometers for cluch,2 rotary encoders,where the "horns" are,4 rotary switches with removed limiters redone to work as encoders on front plate, 1 rotary switch, 2 leds, connected to toggle switches, electrical quick release

This is one of the best quality homemade steeringwheels i have seen.
Dunno what you are asking, but it's worth every penny.

What is the weight of the wheel? Looks really interesting. Are you planning doing this in a professional way?

@kimi69 really really fantastic work. Your wheel is quite beautiful, and finished to a very high level of quality.

I'm also quite interested in the processes involved in building it. Are you planning to post a development thread so we can see how you built it, and the costs and work involved?
