Default Carbon flappy paddles

Hi,

I'm thinking of making some carbon flappy paddles to convert the std tip buttons or allow non-button steering wheels to convert.

Should be pretty easy.

Just looking for folks thoughts on this?

I'm thinking the light stalk may be an issue here.

Cheers

John

Hi matey,

That's my way of thinking.

I was just thinking I may be able to folks some nice spanky carbon ones cheaper than getting an RS6 steering wheel.

Got shed loads of carbon at home and quite a few microswitches hence my idea for the project.

This sounds great! the RS6 steeringwheel is to expensive.
I want this if it looks good when done
