My problem is that when I made this I used the cable from an old
joystick, and saw where the wireing should be connected, so that I
don't know the precice pin# to this systems cable(I have only named
them A,B,C,etc). It would be most helpfull if anyone could give me a
clue here.

The system it self is made out of wooden planks and a
wooden broomstick, except the steering wheel
(two tubes made of strong plastic, electrical tubes).
And the plates that the pot.'s are connected to on the
pedal-system (flexible metal plates, they need to move a little with
the pot. when the axel rotates).

The steering-systems rotationdegree must be restricted
(or else you might end up rotating the wheel about 360 degrees).
You can do this by drilling a hole in the steering axel, the hole must
be
located in the first chamber of the steering-box(and you can use this
as a center for the pot.) and put a long mec.***thru and tighten
it. Then you either drill two new holes (one on each side of the
steering
axel) through the steering-box's first chamber and insert two mec.
screw's, or just two spikes, which then is supposed to stop the wheel
from
turning 360 degrees. The mec.***which is conected to the axel
will be restriced by thes two srews or spikes that are connected to
the first chamber of the steering-box.

To make the steering wheel self centered I used two small metal
spring-feathers which was connected to the steering axel and the side
of the second chamber by adjustable hooks.

I drilled holes in the plastic tube in which I mounted the impuls
buttons. I have only two buttons now, but thinking on adding two more
which I can use in conjunction with "GPbutton".

The steering wheel is conected to the axel by a special***which
has a wooden***on one side and a mec.***on the other. Use the
wooden screw-end on the axel, but remember to drill a small hole in
the center of the axel or you'll crack the axel when you try to
tighten the***to the axel.

List of components:

Steering wheel:
1  pot. 100k Ohm
2-4 impuls buttons

Pedals:
2 pot. 100k Ohm
2 res. 300k Ohm
