Logitech MOMO (RED) replacement Table Clamp

This post is done under the advisement of a member of the Wingman Bulletin Board. Dear Sir/Maam, I am writing this because Logitech support cannot apparently help me. I have the logitech MOMO FF (RED) FF wheel. Last week a small person in the household decided to use the wheel to drive the car while daddy was away and effectively used the wheel as a pullup bar causing the table clamp part to crack and break off. This is the part that attaches to the bottom of the wheel with four small metal screws and would be removed if you were using the wheel in the lap mode. Does anyone know where I can get this part? Logitech doesnt stock them and I am stationed Overseas (Egypt) so it is not easy for me to take it back to the store I bought it from. Any Help in this matter is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support Mike C [email hidden]

Logitech has never supplied spare parts. They'll replace a defective unit under warranty; after that yer on yer own. Yes best bet is to find a Momo Racing (the one w. the red housing; the one w. the black housing is the Momo Force...and it's not as good) for sale on eBay. (Or, you might be able to fabricate an external part, like a clamp.) It's worth the effort - the Momo Racing was one of the best FF wheels ever made. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

The Momo force is Red and the Momo Racing is black. Ive got an extra Force and would be happy to send you the part except after I read your description I noticed mine doesnt seem to match. The "C" Clamp is held onto the wheel by two screws. Do you by chance have a Momo Racing (black)? Mitch "Steve Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:4Zfwd.60038$[email hidden]...

Well, misery loves company-I was just blasting around the IOM in my 330, when the left clamp on my Red Momo lost the ability to stay tightened: if I try to retighten it it keeps "slipping", like the screwthreads won't engage or something. Since I'm not what you would call "mechanically apt", any ideas as to how to remedy? [In case there is more than one model, mine has two inch-wide thumbwheels which tighten the clamps onto the desk-the clamps hinge in conjunction with two small black screws which hold them- the clamps-in place] I guess I can break out my drill and use that through-the-desk clamp that came with the wheel...

That option is better if you dont mind a hole on your desk. I use the single screw mount option but my wheel is mounted on a piece if ply 1/2"X12X40 and rests between a couple of old end tables while I sit comfortably in my lazyboy sandwiched into a semi cockpit. This is why I have extra C clamps. I havent actually taken them off yet but I believe the clamp/screw shaft are all mounted together and I cannot totally unscrew the thumbscrew to remove it. It hits a stop of some sort. Same offer applies John as Ive got 6 unused. Mitch "John DiFool" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

The one w. the red housing has THREE screws - a center one in back that isn't strictly neccessary. Are we on the same page yet?

I've been using this option since day two. I first tried the wheel without it, but those clamps didn't really impress me... and the if I ever remove the wheel (about once a year so fa ;) the hole in the desk is nicely covered with the keyboard :) I'm not sure if the bolt can hold the wheel in place by itself without the clamps though... -- - Jussi Koukku -

<[email hidden]> ... > This post is done under the advisement of a member > of the Wingman Bulletin Board. > <snip> > Any Help in this matter is greatly appreciated. > Thank you for your support If I'm unable to get my own unit fixed, you can have the clamps off of mine. Steering shaft busted on mine: it has sheared in half where the positive stop ring is (good thing this didn't happen in a league race or at the ESCORS LAN last weekend, that would have really sucked). Superglue not strong enough to mend this torsional break, as the halves don't fit together properly anymore... trying plastic putty next, but I'm not hopefull. Have begged Logitech to send me the part off a warranty unit at my expense, but not much hope there either. Jan. =---

Upon further education from the group it has been determined that this wheel is a Logitech MOMO Racing Force P/N 863203-1000. I made the determination of the color by the band in the center of the steering wheel. Should I repost the original request with this new information. Thanks for your help and support. Mike C

I too wanted a replacement clamp, if I can replace it without screwing up the wheel somehow (I think it would require the loosening of 8 screws). John DiFool
