why did you put a buttkicker under the pedals?


because i can! :lol:
No, little joke!

There is a secound one under the seat too.
I use them to get more feedback from the car! speed, RPM, Wheelspin, drifting etc. ABS not specific, but you feel it, when your wheels are blocking.

it´s a little bit tricky, to adjust them right, but i like them!

@ Dave: Let´s get this shit on your sim! ;-)

with the Quick-Release I need to fiddle out. the problem is the connector for the buttons, but I will find a solution, thats for sure!

On the way to get an adapter!

Well, as I dont have access to a machine shop, and people around here complain of lack of business and then want to charge like a bull.......
I will figure out something.
For a connector for the buttons, apart from re-wiring all the buttons in the existing wheel, a suggestion is to buy a cheap dual stick controller, pull it apart, re-wire the buttons to a home made panel with switches in it.

@ prodigy it´s possible to use the pedals, but i´ll not need it! When i drive the "big" wheel i´m shifting sequnzial or H! When i want to drive "openwheeler" or something like that, i´ll use the smaller G25 with pedals.
But when you mount a 350mm wheel like mine, you have to make bigger shiftpedals!

@ Dave i could make you one, but the postage is not cheap to Australia! i want to use the original buttons, and also the cables should be inside the wheel.

I´ll see on tuesday! then i´m in my workshop again! ;-)

Thanks Mario, I suspect if you make it and send , it will still be cheaper than me getting it made locally.
If you have the time to price one up I will look into it.
Freight costs....oh well....
I priced up bringing big worm gears myself at one stage, the ebay daytons, but for an extra $10, I could get them locally and get warranty.
