Solution: come to Pasadena, CA & buy my dedicated Spy Hunter! (only half-kidding, PM me if you're interested...) And now back to our non-Buy/Sell-Trade thread... ;D -J |

I was thinking of there wasn't something out there that I could just plug this into or change the plugs on the wiring so I could plug it into a board I'd try the route of kitbash/hacking it onto a PC steering wheel since ahofle confirmed they work. I just won the auction so I don't have this baby in hand yet but from the pic of the underside it looks a bit rough. Probably could use some new springs and maybe even a new pot. I'll find out when I get it. Now all I need is a Star Wars yoke and I have all the panels for my driving/flying games! |

Hey guys, after looking at this some more and seeing that ahofle confirmed that a PC steering wheel will work for Spy Hunter... I think we can make one of these! Okay hear me out... it would take some clever work modifying the steering wheel on a PC wheel, but I've seen guys in here do harder and more incredible things! Start with the PC steering wheel and disassembly the wheel. The center hub will be the hardest part but after that the rest should be a breeze! Start with these from Happcontrols. They are even listed as replacements for SpyHunter II. Get some tubing that's easy to bend, probably copper plumbing I'm thinking. Get the bend down to look like the real Spy Hunter curve. The tubing is hollow, so that's a snap to run the wires to the triggers through. Some rubber flex tubing and it may not be an exact Spy Hunter wheel, but man it sure would be pretty damn close! Wire the Happ handle triggers up to the buttons on the PC steering wheel and add any additional buttons needed on the grip, cp, or wheel hub. ahofle- I assume since you said this works pretty good for you and for Spy Hunter, the PC gas pedal works well I too? If so that's what I plan on going with. When I get this in I'll take any pictures and measurements anyone wants if they are interested in building one, and I'll see if I can get the cp graphic scanned too. This could be a cool project and looks pretty easy too. We sure nobody's ever done this before? |

Would be great if it's smaller, but maybe it could still work if bigger. --- End quote --- Attached some crude measurements... |
