Anyone know of a website online to build your own Steering Wheel joysticks?
I'm kind of a do-in-yourselfer and think this might be a fun project.

Thanks.

Try here it's been around a long time and is very informative

http://www.simracing.com/wallys_world/wheel2.html

I remember building my first wheel 8 years ago, alot of fun. I found that
the project never ended it just kept getting improvments. Worked more on the
wheel and pedals than I raced, but it was still alot of fun.

Sorry,
I didn't check the links I've had it for along time, here's some newer ones
though.

Most Informative: http://www.gunpowder.freeserve.co.uk/wheels/main.htm
Best Woodwork: http://www.student.oulu.fi/~heinanen/wheel.html

Other Stuff for ideals:
Cool, but not cheap: http://www.hyperstimulator.com/general/main.html
Along the same lines: http://www.symasters.com/ (site doesn't work very good
for me)

Try these for starters Ed.

Also a lot of the flight sim home builders sites have info that you
will find relevant.

I built a wheel and pedals acouple of years ago and still use it all
the time. If you put time and thought into it the result is very
satisfying.
Better than the cheesy plastic things you buy in shops. The only
disadvantage is no force feedback. That is rather difficult to
implement for the home builder.

Regards, Glenn
