Not me. Must be thinking of gbeef's outrun paradise.
I hate the Logitech shifter and love the sega 4 speed. :P

I have to do the same thing with a G27 in a Sega Rally Dash. I haven't spent much time looking into this but my initial thought was to add a spacer inbetween the steering wheel and the end of the existing shaft. This would probably only work if I need to extend by less than an inch which for me may be enough.
So basically the existing wheel has 6 allen key bolts that go into the shaft. I would then get a spacer made up that has six holes drilled into it that line up with holes in the steering. I would then have to get longer bolts that would screw into the original threads.
A couple of issues with this method that I'm unsure about are if the existing threads would take the force from the wheel being further away plus the lever arm effect on the whole shaft back to the main unit due to the extra length. Also, I would be unsure if the force feedback would still feel the same after the mod.

The only thing I worry about doing it that way, I have kids. The youngest has to hang from the wheel to be able to reach the peddles. My other fear is that when people get in and out of the cab, they grab the wheel to brace themselves. Idk how long a wheel could take that without breaking.

I tired with a G27 a couple ways. the frist was as to extending the wheel using a piece of pipe PVC which acutally worked well. The problem is when people start to bag on the machine. Therefore thats when i thought about cutting the dash and refinished it, Instead. I had to buy 2X G27 wheels because the first one was so hacked up.
I Also love the Sega shifter, But i play alot of sim racing also. So i wanted a 6 speed.
