!!!IMPORTANT!!!
You really dont need to cut the wire!
The plastic connector ( the white one that goes to the motherboard) is very soft, you can use tweezers to open it up pin by pin and litterally slide out the metal part inside, and slide them back in with no problem, No need for soldering or a new cable!
Also i drilled a small hole in the grill part of the back and I’m keeping the motherboard outside of the wheel! So no need for desoldering any button!

Why does the electronic board have to be in the wheel base?

[chimpy]

Hey dude! What’s your force feedback settings for beamNG? Should I put smoothning high or low? Also nice work! I hope the 2020 F1 mod gets released soon!

[ludovicopintor]

Hi! I printed this adapter and I’m currently using it with a f1 wheel from amstudio and its working great, i advice to put some black electrical tape on the steering wheel end to ha a more snug fit, but for the rest it works very well for me!

why tf did he cut the cable when you can just take the pins out and put them in again

[tehnubrises]

I've purchased and printed it, i noticed there weren't options for 50mm or 70mm wheels, but of course i'm sort of expecting it. My guess is that the diameter for this one is 52mm so yea it doesn't really fit but other than that the adapter is one of the shortest option i can find

Can I buy the 3d printed part somewhere? As i dont have a 3d printer

[ImMor_]

I don't understand how you got to fit the pcb inside the case. I have a g920 so smaller pcb but i find no way to fit it inside

[hb]

May as well buy a fanatec wheel. So you have to do all this but then get another wheel to use buttons

[tnsghk]

does g29 work without pcb connected? i just want to remove it

[pedrolotti]

so, i knew your project on thingiverse.com, but because of my current conditions i cant pay for it, im sorry that i dont paid, but thank you so much for it and.. yeah so i came here and subscribe and like the video because you deserve it.

[catea]

cool, but how sturdy is it? and you lose button functionality on the wheel? did you revert this mod afterwards?

[Astros]

Please note:

Technically, you don't need to de-solder the wire, you don't even need to connect it to anything!

With the new Logitech software, the wheel is recognized, the force feedback does work but all the buttons are pressed in meaning you would need to de-bind them in the software/sim.

THERE IS AN EASY WORKAROUND TO THIS!
If you find a breadboard jumper wire, (make sure it's male to male), you can plug the jumper wire from the black wire to the yellow wire on the cable coming from the wheelbase, which fixes the issue of all the buttons being pressed AND makes sure your FFB works flawlessly.

Ma se uso una corona nuova con paddle shifters quest ultimi funzionano o funzionano solo quelli del g29?

[erbiondo]

Hi! where can i buy the replacement cable? (the cable you cut in this video)

[issamfakiri]

Do the extra buttons that are more than the G29 work?

[TheMariovsilva]

good friend can you explain how you soldered the wires all over again

[bbxrgn]

I used this system and the bit on the wheel snapped, is there any metal ones that you can get

[felixarcand]

so now is it available with the ecosystem ?

[wickedeagans]

I would of so kept the board out or cut holes in the top so buttons could stick through
