@@c0r5e if you have a harness on a racing seat you don't need an airbag. F1 drivers are safer in their f1 car than regular people on their regular cars. And f1 cars have no airbag. The harness keeps you glued to the chair. Unless the whole front of your car flies off you won't need an airbag.

JUST AWESOME MAN!! really nice and clean work ;) can't wait to see the next project

[@DiViNiTY1337]

One more thing you could do to this wheel in order for it to have a stronger/more durable mounting face is to put nuts immediately up against the base aluminium plate after passing the screws through, and tightening down. Then adding additional nuts on the ends of the screws, right up against the inside of the housing, that way the housing is resting on the nuts. This takes away all the strain from the 3D printed plastic parts and makes the whole mounting assembly incredibly strong, easily enough for 30Nm direct drive systems. Love your videos, you've been a huge source of inspiration!

OMG this is so awesome! Thanks for posting. Also a side tip, you can use a general deburring tool that can clean up sharp edges on the metal plate a lot faster than using a file.

[@cowboyanimal6700]

I've been using this on my 83 Ford Escort and it's driving like a boss. Thanks m8. I didn't have a 3d printer so I used a jigsaw and instead of carbon fibre I used fibreglass which was recycled from an old building job. Some of the texture gets into my hand every now and again and it itches like a bitch but if I don't rub my eyes and use my gloves when I drive it works well. Couldn't be happier, I even think I take those corners a little faster.

I found your channel recently and it is truly awesome. I already bought the materials to build my own analog handbrake. Without your videos I wouldn't be able to do it. I have a 3D printer too, would you mind telling me which CAD software you use? I learned CAD with a professional software which sadly isn't usable for me anymore. I haven't found a reasonably priced software that I like since then.

Hey that's a nice guide, what other ways can I do the cutouts on 3mm thick aluminium if I can't have access to a jigsaw? I do have a dremel, but it is quite loud to cut on metals. I'm thinking to use hand tools. I should also say, I do live in an apartment with very thin walls so making too much noise isn't ideal.
