    Hello, thank you very much for your reply.

    I'm in China now, and I found a similar reducer shaft on the shopping website here.

    This shaft contains gaskets, circlips, and flat keys.

    If I process the rotating part according to the drawings you provided, and then buy a shaft of a reducer with a suitable size, can they be installed together?

    There are pictures of the kind of shaft I found in the attachment. There are many different models. Fortunately, there are threaded holes on the end of the shaft.

    Thanks for posting that, it will make setting up my own JrKs much easier. Something I need to get around to eventually as I want to use my Arduino on my next project.

    What is the distance between the bottom board to the top board?

    Hi Erwan, how did you stabilize the simulator at 90°?

    Just use non-reversible reducers.

    A 43" screen placed for a perfect overlap with the steering wheel and dashboard.
    So, half of the screen is not concealed but in perfect position to match with reality.
    No need to shift it upwards to see a black roof that we already perceive widely.

    Yes but in this way you cover the original Onscreen gaugecluster with your wheelbase dash . This would not be my favorite... If I drive a specific car I Wanna see the original gauges... But when it's okay for you everything is fine

    Indeed, it was perfectly the objective to cover the original dashboard since it is the same on the M4 or the 296.
