Adapter to allow you to fit an aftermarket wheel to the TX Racing Wheel, using a Ferrari 458 Challenge wheel as a base. This adapter includes paddle shift extensions and D-Pad extension/replacement. The 458 Challenge wheel has separate buttons and paddle shifters, making it ideal for modification. To retain the D-Pad, you will need to drill the replacement wheel. I used the adapter as a template, then drilled/filed to suit. Some hardware is required: - The adapter is designed to accept M5 nuts, while wheels typically require M5 countersunk bolts. - Screws into the wheel base are not long enough; I used 20mm M4 screws, but you may get away with 15mm. - Paddle shifter extensions will accept M3 nut/bolts. I drilled the original paddles at 3.5mm and countersunk the extensions for a flush finish. Printing: - I printed in PLA at 95% infill to create a solid part, but you may prefer to use 100% infill if your extrusion is fully tuned. - The adapter is designed so that the print can be paused, then M5 nuts inserted into the print, and the print recommenced. This locks the nuts in place. The fit is deliberately loose to allow easy insertion; if you're quick, you can insert the nuts without pausing the print. I have tested this for quite some time without issue. Assuming good layer bond, the adapter should be strong enough. The D-Pad extension brings the D-Pad out flush with the new wheel position. The paddle shifter extension works well with a 320mm wheel; I don't see any issues with slightly larger wheels.
