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

I have given this some thought and have come to the conclusion that a metal plate would needed to be installed with circular slot with recessed bearings around the stem. These bearings would take the abuse of wild game play and the stem wouldn't have any force on it at all. This seems like pretty complicated soluton. I think a detachable PC steering wheel that plugs into the usb port would be the best solution because a steering wheel needs to be mounted vertically. |

The Wheel should be detachable so the spinner could be used normally as well. Some spinner knobs come with a groove that looks made for such a purpose. --- End quote --- That's what I'd do. That way you can use the biggest, baddest, most heavily reinforced wheel you want that will take any abuse, and know that your spinner is safe and sound from harm. You'd need to ensure that you've got a 1:1 ratio on your shank radii of course. |

Instead of trying to mount a steering wheel on a spinner why not take a steering wheel control and make the wheel interchangable with a spinner knob? Then you won't have to worry about the durability Anyone ever tried? |

Have you ever played Tempest with the steering wheel? It's fun. Maybe just forget the spinner and have a steering wheel full time. Darryl |
