World Rally 2 Steering wheel collar cracked

(1/2) > >>

Hey guys,

I have a World Rally 2 dual Arcade and 1 of the steering wheel (Happ brand) collars has a crack which makes a loud click noise when turning the wheel.
I was wondering is there anywhere I can find an replacement? Or is there anyway I could wire up a Computer steering wheel to an arcade jamma?

Thanks

There isn't a way to swap in a PC wheel to use with the original game boards and have the ffb still work (if it has ffb).

Doesn't have the collar, but would work:

I've got a shiny aluminum one laying around, but aren't sure if I want to part with it.
Where are you located?
Shipping to NZ would probably be more than it's worth.
Vandale is in NZ and is always swapping PC wheels into driving cabs (for use with a PC or PS3).
Maybe he has one laying around.  You have too few posts to PM, so I PMd him for you.

Thanks I have emailed suzohapp for a shipping price to NZ as they were asking for my visa card details before they even gave me a shipping price.
Hopefully it isn't too high otherwise it might be cheaper just to use the 2nd cab as a Console/PC racing machine.
If "Vandale" does see this I would be keen to buy 1 from him if the price is right.

Use some Epoxy Putty.  Most especially by bluesteel  (not JB the crap)

 Ive used the plastic (white)  version of this stuff, to fix a broken laptop.   After 5 min or so... I tried to scratch it with all my might... using a steel nail.  Couldn't make a visible scratch.   The stuff is amazing.

 Tips:  Make sure to sand then clean all the surface with 90% rubbing alcohol.. clean your hands...  them mix up the putty very well.  Put in place... even over-gobbing if needed..  as you can always cut and sand it down after its cured.

 The strength of it in 5 min is really incredible... but I wouldn't put it through mechanical stresses for a day or two, to make sure the cure is completely and fully set to its maximum potential.   (even if the box stated full cure in less time than this.  Cure can be varied due to temperatures, pressure, humidity, how well you mixed things..etc.  )

Hey Thanks for that I will definitely try it. As I got the postage price back from Suzo Happ $62 shipping  :timebomb:
