SMG paddle adapter hub

[erickhoyos]

So I’ve been contemplating on getting an aftermarket steering wheel for a long time but I also want to keep the paddle shifters and I found this works bell adapter online and want to know if anyone else has used or is using it.

I'm no help, but nice find.

If you have the money KMP makes a great wheel and excellent magnetic
paddles.

I would like the KMP setup but it’s too much for me, the Works Bell is like ~570 so I’m leaning more towards that

Might also check with Ben at Rogue Engineering, they have a nice setup on their track car I believe the used to (still?) sell.

Uhh, I just made my own:

Mocking up paddles after a PLA print.



Cutting the pieces out of 1/8" plate on plasma CNC at MT Fabrications.


I welded the pieces, shot a coat of black on it and started wiring the microswitches.

I used solid copper line so I could bend the wires and have them hold a shape. I enlarged and slotted the pre-existing hole in the quick release hub so I could feed the wires. No sharp edges were left as I chamfered them all.


For a first shot at this design, I'm pretty happy with how it came out. I have a few small tweaks in mind for when I eventually redo it, but I took this for a test drive and it worked exceptionally well so I'll probably run with it as-is for a while.
