Advice needed for a FF wheel.

I purchased a Logitech wheel a couple of weeks ago, and have been using it with
GPL.

My wheel was made in China, and the quality of the wheel to shaft fit could be
improved.

The fix was posted by another user on this newsgroup awhile ago, and that is to
add some shim between the flats of the shaft and the inside of the wheel.

However, other people have talked about placing thin pieces of mylar in as
shim.  My chinese made wheel required shim material ~.020-.030" thick.  The
wheel was very sloppy!

Since shimming it is great and I have no complaints, but If I hadn't read about
the fix here, I would have been very dissapointed with the wheel and probably
returned it.

I was thinking very seriously of ordering the Act labs FF wheel, but I wasn't
able to curb my need for instant gratification :)

Good luck,

Paul.
