SPINNER/ STEERING WHEEL. Can it, has it been done?

RayB:
I've always thought the same thing. Games like Pole Position use free-spinning optic wheels, much like a Tempest spinner. I don't know which ones would use a geared system?

Hmm Ive got an arkanoid spinner around here somewheres...should see if that mite hold up

NY_in_TX did something similar on his.  It is mounted on the front of the panel but there is no reason it couldn't be put on top.  Problem is, you'd have to seriously modify your spinner to fit the shaft.

Indy Heat, at least that I know of.

I've been thinking of how to do something like this.  Let me see if I can explain my idea.  You have a spinner with a rubber knob, 1.5" in diameter.  You get a small steering wheel (I'm thinking ones like the super sprint cabs), and you attach (glue? weld?) a connector bracket that has a circular 1.5" hole and with clips or bolts that attach it to the knob.  This way you can use the regular spinner for spinner games, and then throw on a couple of wheels for racing games without too much modification.  Any thoughts on why this wouldn't work??
