Daytona 2 Twin Racing Cabinets Project

[bsoder52]

While working on my Windows 10 PC racing build I stumbled upon 3 Daytona 2 cabs (by stumbled I mean watching the marketplace and driving 3 hours one way the day I found the post). 
The boards are largely shot due to corrosion issues. I plan mix the parts of the cabinets to make 2 decent ones and to run 2 PCs in the cabs and link as many 2 player games as I can.
I've seen video's of others who have cut into the dash to install a racing wheel, I have 2 G27s. But wondering if there is a way to use the stock wheel/shifter and keep the dashboard intact? I saw one post where someone used the Arduino (MEGA 2560) is that like souped up ipac? Would like to hear what options there are to keep the original wheel/shifter/pedals? ...and how difficult those options are?
Thanks for your help!

For model 2 there was the L2M2 board, which i think took advantage of the guts of a logitech DFGT to interface with. I'm sure that's been updated now, but can't remember other names.

I'm not sure if that works in model 3 though, but there will be something that does. MMOS or arduino FFB projects are out there. Empo was giving this a crack in his build thread - http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,159162.0.html

Doing it isn't simple, but you will get respect and advice for sticking with the orignal guts

If you really can't stick with original guts, remove as much as you can intact, including the dashboards and mounting hardware - it'll all be worth money to someone.
