What I did: I removed the suction cups and placed bolts through the holes (6 mm). To prevent damaging the plastic, I put small pieces of woon between the plastic and the head of the bolt. Then I made two holes in the table for the bolds and fastened them by butterfly nuts so I can remove the wheel quickly. greetings, Han

Man, I gotta get some pics of these things... On both my GP1 and T1 (same steering-wheel casing) I have this weird-but-great system. You open up the case, add in a few bolts, and attatch a keyboard-sized piece of plywood to the bottom. Then you drill a hole on either end and get these hand-screw things (like a big bolt with a plastic handle) and also drill two matching holes in the desk. You get these little threaded things that you hammer into the holes and then put it all on the desk. Not a millimeter of movement! Maybe I should start selling them as kits... -- Kirk Lane Tempe, AZ ICQ: 28171652 RMRL #119 > Im having a problem keeping my wheel in place.
