Steering Wheel WITHOUT 6 inches to spare on top...

<< < (4/5) > >>

bkenobi:
Actually, I was just going to suggest a showcase style steering wheel pedestal.  That link would work just fine too.  It's not very "arcade" looking, but neither is a steering wheel clamped onto a CP with everything thrown on it.  Either way, if it's fun, it's fun!

spOOf:
How would that work for standing up?  It looks like it's made for sitting down, which doesn't seem right for you cab.

Invincer:
Well I have high stools for sitting and of course some play standing (I tend to)... I guess that is kind of one of the things I am asking if anyone had any experience trying a steering wheel stand. i notice the fanatec model goes up to 35 inches placing it close to the control pnael in height, but if the steering wheel can't be angled up or the pedals can't be pressed without sitting down this may not work them. Of course if the wheel has buttons those could substitute for the pedals, but that would l kind of suck i think

bkenobi:
You can build a simple stand out of wood that would probably be cheaper than that ready made unit.  It would be custom to whatever you need since you will be deciding on the dimensions.

I know you have just bought a "finished" cab so you didn't have to do the work, but this is a simple project that might entice you into some of the more fun parts of the hobby. 

Invincer:
You are so funny bkenobi :)...

"more fun parts of the hobby"

The fun part is the playing, there is no way this woodwork class failster could even imagine doing any required woodwork. It's not the wiring that scares me. I am not even allowed to touch a power drill or I would make Tim "The Toolman" Taylor look like Bob Vila..

Had an idea though, I wonder if the RennSport Wheel Stand could be configured in reverse where the pedals and steering wheel faced the opposite direction... if so, that might work standing or on a stool
