Is there a decent 'off the shelf' StarWars yoke?

Depends on how clean of a look you want.  If there's enough room int he shaft to run more wires this should be possbile.  Though you'd probably want to make your own yoke as two joysticks on the side of a steering wheel would look funny.

The wheel itself would be removed leaving just the 2 central spokes and knocking up the SW style box to stick over the centre of the steering wheel falls within my limited capabilities ;).

Seriously through, I

Are you tlaking about making a kit t hat "bolts on" to an existing wheel? That's a bad idea. The PC steering wheel market changes quite abit.

No dude just converting the one wheel.
SirPoonga:
Then your problem is you are going to have to come up with a better "steering wheel".  So you will need to take off the current steering wheel and disconnect the buttons, come up with something that fits the shaft, etc...

Assuming you want a dedicated yoke.  A dedicated yoke could work as a steering wheel easier than having a kit that attached to the wheel.
