Thats a ghetto wheel you got there, I'm actually quite jealous
It looks more realistic then my G25 and its mounted perfectly.
My first wheel was a hacked together PS1 wheel - I simply cut off the plug and soldered a printer plug onto it, but this a different league altogether. Love it!
If you're going to make a new version and go all out with steel - build your own usb controller!
Google MJoy16 and read more on it, its pretty simple stuff but will give you so much!!
