Simracing Porsche 919 LMP1 Steering wheel

Update 1/5/2020: Please understand that this model is designed to teach and learn from, not just follow instructions. I won't provide additional guidance on building this wheel, as it's meant to be a challenge. If you're looking for an easy build, there are other wheels available. I've invested many hours (if not days) crafting these instructions, which require knowledge gained from simpler builds first. If you're struggling with a particular aspect, send me a message and I'll help if possible. Important! This build is quite difficult, so I strongly advise using only the specified parts or starting with another project like Fox_85's 650S GT3 wheel if you haven't built a wheel before. If you have experience building or designing wheels, you might appreciate the complexity of this particular one. I also hope you'll make some cool adjustments and share them! Certain components are used for specific reasons: The Leo Bodnar BBI-32 is chosen due to its numerous button connections required. It must be paired with three BBI-12 rotary switches. This is because using rotary encoders would exhaust the available button connections on a BBI-32 board, making it necessary to use the more expensive Leo Bodnar BBI-64 instead. Cheaper alternatives may require serious redesign of the model, affecting each part's location and wiring difficulties. This brings me to another important point: This build is not inexpensive. However, it's still cheaper than buying a ready-made wheel or kit, although the required parts are necessary due to other options failing to fit inside and maintain the 919 wheel's appearance. I did try alternative solutions, but they didn't meet my requirements. The Paddles can be found in my other designs
