LWFF (new style) isn't much more than 3/4" maybe 7/8". I really doubt
you'll find a secure wheel that has less clamp area than the LWFF (which,
IMO, isn't that secure).

Thanks again,

I feel your pain. The only solution I've found for the moment is to keep my
lap drawer on top of my dresser. : )
That is, until I finish building my dedicated sim station.

: That's a good suggestion, but as I mentioned above in another reply, the
: drawer is only about 4.5" deep, which still prevents some clamp systems
: from working.
If I understand this right then the LWFF should work. The "J" part of the
clamp is maybe 1-1.5" high and about 1 to 1.25" long. If it helps I can
email you a small digital picture of the clamp.
Dale.
Many people find the ECCI heavy enough that they find they don't need
clamps.
Or at least it sounds like a good excuse for trying to aquire one.
