It's in the UK - Cheshire. We moved away from London a few years ago for some extra space. Sadly the horse isn't mine :(

SpaceHedgehog:
I bought some car mesh for the speaker grill. The amount is overkill but the metal stuff is really expensive for the width I needed. I also bought some speaker cloth. The grill will provide some resistance to the cloth should someone poke it.

I re-used a piece of scrap wood to make the frame for it and cut the mesh to size. The wood needs to be painted black and the the grill hot-glued into place. This will sit behind the bottom opening on the middle section so it doesn't need to be particularly neat and tidy.

I spent some time during the evenings this week messing around with my wheel and looking at response curves and dead zones in the Joystick Gremlin software. The games seem to need adjusting according to their characteristics to get the best fit. I may end up making a panel for this:

Horizon Chase (a fun, updated Outrun clone) feels really good with it. I can configure the shifter pedals for the accelerator and brake pedals but if I do go down this route, I may end up buying a couple of USB foot pedals.

Mike A:
That is quite a project.

Looks like it is coming along nicely.

SpaceHedgehog:
Thank you Mike A :cheers:

Managed to get the MDF painted with blackboard paint and cover it with speaker cloth.

Loose fit under the monitor - I'll attach it properly once the cab is painted.

Pleased I managed to get this done today as I was up at 3am this morning.
