Happ 360 wheels and pedals restoration help needed :)
« on: February 24, 2011, 04:03:52 pm »
Hi all,

Yep i'm a Noob here, long time lurker though and this is the place for advice!

Ive currently got 4 cabs,
1 videomaster with Hypersoin setup - complete!
2 x generic jamma's that im restoring,
and im about to build a driving cab, with detachable control panels, 1 with two 360 wheels ala championship sprint, and 1 with a 270 arcade wheel/shifter!
its gonna be a long project due to time commitments (damn you day job!) and would love to share it on here if people are interested,

ANYWAY

so, ive got a couple of Happ 360 wheels, both in pretty good nick, and were bargains on ebay, however 1 of them spins very freely yet makes a complete racket! and the other one hardly spins at all, pretty sure im gonna have to take them apart and see what the prob is, does anyone have any advice on what products to use? if any? and do these types of wheels need any greasing or anything?
like i said i have zero experience with these so any help much appreciated!

Heres a link to the two photos of the inside of the wheels,

and I have the pedals 2, aside from a good clean up, the paint has come away and there a bit rusty, any advice?

I would really appreciate any advice on these, particularly the wheels! i dont want to mess them up or anthing,

Cheers!
