Way out my budget. I just took my wheel apart. I think $5 worth of pipes and rivets is going to do the job for me.

I was thinking raid lowes and see what they've got in the fencing section. If that doesn't work maybe sewer/drain pipe. That stuff is unbelievably strong and yet easy to cut and adapt to different diameters.

What are you using for a shaft extension on the wheel?

Thanks. Using a 50mm steel exhaust tube that has been crushed at one end and flared at the other to ensure it is a tight press fit onto the Logitech shaft and inside the Logitech wheel. I have then drilled and bolted the hidden end behind the dash. Thinking I will rivet or pk the steering wheel end.

Did you paint the dash gloss black? I'm not sure if I should paint mine with gloss or satin.

Thanks. I painted it with a high gloss enamel with a wide fan spray head to try and get a finish that doesn't needed cutting and polishing. The trick was I used a filler primer and kept sanding it flat then re-primering then sanding again to give the black a nice even base. I was thinking of using matt to prevent too much reflection from the screen but then decided against it as I love the piano black look

Hehe, yes I had that issues on previous cabs and decided the extra work was well worth it in the end
