Time to add a steering wheel

I think he's going the detachable route.

Cheap two piece VESA monitor mounts on the front of the CP would work and would allow a wheel section to be dropped down in, but it wouldn't be pretty.


Since your CP has an overhang, you might be able to get some brackets up under it where they won't be visible.
That would require some kind of latch.

I recommend you build a sit-down cab.  :cheers:

I will be when the timing is right.  I am running out of room in my gameroom! 

For now I just need to address the fact that I cannot play outrun, offroad, or my all time fav APB on my cab.  I have played those plenty of times on stand up machines and they are perfectly fun like that.  Of course nothing beats the experience of playing a good racing game sitting down with FFB, but that will come in due time.

I believe I know what I am going to do.  I need to go find the thread where I have seen it done before.  I will dig right now.

No, there was a machine I saw a year or so ago (no telling how old the thread was) where the dude built his control panel.  Then he added some holes with metal threads in them to receive screws.  He then built a small base for the Yolk and added knobbed screws to it.  So when he wanted to use the Yolk, he placed it on his cp, screwed it on and tada!  It was a good idea.  Mine would be hollow enough to cover my trackball and the two buttons, and have felt on the bottom as not to scratch the cp.
