Steering wheel rebuild.

Postby fastlemons » Fri Dec 18, 2009 10:57 pm

Hey,
Let me start by saying i had lots of fun on thursday night.
Unfortunately during qualifying for the second race the wheel that i use, (Fanatec Speedster 2) locked full to left, upon fixing i have realised that 90 degrees to the left or right is not enough, so i am hoping to replace the potentiometer with one that offers a futher turning circle, as i have got a fairly decnt set of pedals. Does anybody know as to where i might find a better potentiometer than my current one? Any help would be useful.
This is being done as i can't afford a new wheel, nor can i justify one to my parents.
