update on steering wheel paddle mod

[shane@mbtech]

FAO the one arm bandits

After removing airbag etc on my car, i removed the paddle, and offered an ssg paddle to the space, very different mounting positions

I wired it in, it was working fine.

But in order to permanently fix it in position i would have to cut away at the back of the wheel(which i dont want to, and wont do).
I would also have to mount a metal fixing plate inside the wheel, and also behind to stabilize the paddle shifter.

Also it does not look right compared to the left paddle, totally different styles.
It looks too bodged, as the shift paddle looks like it's not designed to be there( its not of course.)

After much consideration, and much playing with brackets etc, i have opted to fit a switch next to the m track button.

I feel in this position it is very ergonomic. For myself anyway.


I've ordered a few style switches, in order to find the easiest to use and the easiest to the eye.

The wiring mod is very very simple and i will post up with pics how to do this.

There are very small mods that need to be made near the m track button, ill also post these up.

An even easier mod if its your left hand you still have use of

Please be patient guys, as my girlfriend gave birth to our first child on tues
so im squeezing in 10 mins every now and then.

But i will sort it, it is possible and it will work.

You should all buy Porsche tips. They have annoying two buttons per side so you can change up and down on either side. I can't personally think of anything worse....

Having one arm is worse, if you read the threads you might understand

Sorry mate, now it becomes all the more clear.

No probs mate, in my 2 arm days before my bike crash i must admit the left paddle down, right paddle up was best,

and having recently owned a 996 turbo tip id agree about the buttons, but in my case beggars cant be chosers
