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.

Hmm... so exhaust pipe huh. I'm from WV... pretty sure it's a state law that I have at least a few car parts lying around... let me see what I can find. ;)
vandale:
I just drilled and screwed the wheel end with a coarse threaded m5 screw, 4 of them. Done up very tight. I am surprised the plastic shaft didn't stress or whiten or crack so that's good. It feels nice and strong but I won't be pulling myself in and out of the cab with it as only original wheels can handle that and even some of those fail.
BadMouth:
I thought it was exhaust pipe!
Howard_Casto:
In regards to pulling yourself out of the cab.... if I were to do this mod, I would make my dash out of 3/4 inch plywood. So if some idgit did that, the stress would be on the dash and not the wheel assembly.
So did you cut the wheel or what? I trying to understand exactly how you did this before I even attempt it.
