Modifying a G25
I've looked around, googled, etc. but I find no info on this. I'm
going to adapt a Momo steering wheel from a race car i'm disassembling and mount it to the G25 base using an aluminum adapter i'm making. It's fairly simple, unscrew the 6 mounting screws, unplug the two wheel mounted push buttons from the circuit board (easily accessible when the wheel is off), Screw the aluminum plate tot he G25 assembly, screw the Momo wheel to the plate. Done! This gives me the same wheel size as is in my race car (13.5"). A much better, more realistic feel... Has anyone done this? You lose the function of the two buttons but I couldn't care less about that. G |

You can get an idea of the finished product form here - http://forum.racesimcentral.com/show...39#post3973939 I'm also going to have a 3.5" long, .75" diameter (tapered slightly) aluminum shift knob made to replace the little ball on the G25 to use as a sequential shifter.. |

Thanks for the info, Gary. I've been thinking about replacing my g25 steering wheel too. Will the paddle shifters still work after changing the wheel? Cheers, Uwe |

Yes, no effect on them at all, you just have an 1.5" longer reach to
them. I use the sequential 90% of the time anyway. You will lose use of the two wheel push buttons unless you mount buttons on the new wheel and wire them in. Not hard to do at all, all the info you need is on the site for that also i'm sure... Cheers!
