I have bought a Sega TouringCar cabinet and I would like to do a Hack of steering wheel with a Logitech Driving Force Pro,but I need to know first if I can use the original steering wheel of Sega Touringcar cabinet this:

This motor it,s of 100 V and it has three wires instead of two.it can be triphased.
Does anyone say me if this motor I can use it with a servo ampli to a hack of steering wheel?

Can't use the servo amp.  If it's the same setup that was used in the first Daytona USA or Sega Rally, it can be hacked via this method:

Looks like a lot of work, but the people that have done it are much happier than those with the happ/servo amp hacks.

RetroRepair has a couple STCC cabs and uses that hack.
Look him up on youtube.

Thanks BadMouth by the information I want to do itself,it sems to have more work but it,s cheaper.I can use the transformer of the cabinet.
With that method of that link can I keep the FFB of original steering wheel or not?Can you give a explain about it?

Yeah, everything is kept original.
Might want to check with retrorepair and make sure that motor will work.
He has an account on here.

I can't really explain any more.  I haven't done the hack or messed with Sega feedback motors.
I do know that everyone who has that hack is much happier with it than the happ hacks.
