And you can completely adjust the wheel/pedals to your likings, install some
extra switches, easily adjust the forces in the wheel/pedals etc.
I guess you never tried to make something by yourself, did you?

have a look into and disassemble a logitech FF
I'm quite sure:
$50 for the wheel-parts
$100 for assembling (takes hours)

But model building is not for everyone. Same with building your own
wheel/pedals. I'm merely pointing out that if you want to save money
by building your own setup, you'll sometimes have to take the time
used into consideration.

I did it!
In fact, I am curerently building my own set of wheel. Here are my
advice:
1- Expect to pass a lot of time on it: it wont be ready tomorow
2- dont even think about it if you dont have TOOLS to do it: saw,
soldering iron, etc... It may take more than you think at first...
3- You may not save as much as you think: not more than 50% (for me at
least)
4- Look at other home build wheel AND FOLLOW THEIR ADVICES: Dont do like
me trying to reinvent hot water: It did work for them, do it theuir
way, while suiting it to your needs:
BECAUSE: after all, that is why you do it: to fit your needs.
My desk is not standard, so every wheel I tried had a 'physical', a
'ergonomical' problem: The wheel I am building fits my desk like a
glove. My TM couldnt do that.
The only problem with the home built wheels that I saw on the Net was
that they may have cost a lot: I build my set of pedals for less than
40$ (that is about 25 US $)
But I'm telling you: if you want to do it and have the ressources to do
it, then go fot it: it is very rewardly to fly around Monza with your
own set of pedals: makes you feel like Mclaren or Brabham, racing into
your own developped idea...
