Extending the steering shaft of a Logitech G-25
Brian74:
Well, I got my shaft back. When I first told them what I wanted. I was told would be 2.5hrs at 75.00 a hour! I said I didnt wanna send that much. Then I told him to do it the simpler way, he said a hr. When it was all said and done, was 3hrs!! 163.00 later I have this.

Here I installed the bearings and what was left of the shaft. Now I have to fine adjust it to find the sweet spot.

It frustrates me when companies quote an HR and charge three or four.
If any regular posting members ever want anything like this welded up in mild steel then I can help. Charge of parts and consumables only.
(you must be a regular posting member please)
I will say though, It does look a really nice job thats been done.
Should do the trick nicely.

If you're putting a u-joint on that shaft anywhere, be careful how you do and the angel you give it. Torque gets funky with weird angles

Same thing happened to me when I had a machinist widen the steering column hole and weld four bolts to a Daytona dash.
It's precise to thousanths of an inch, which is completely unnecessary, but the guy works how he works and doesn't change his ways for any job.
I've since started giving my small stuff to a friend that works graveyard shift in the machine shop of a factory.
If nothing in the factory needs repaired or scheduled maintenance, then he is supposed to sit and read the paper.
EDIT: Oh and that setup looks sweet so far! I'd probably copy it if I hadn't sold my G27 a couple months ago. :banghead:
