    Cool creative mod ;)

    Jokes aside, as I also have the DD2 you have got me thinking that I should consider cable strain relief.

    Lol. Yeah. Not sure if its my bad or Fanatec cheap solders or something.. But in Fanatecs defense the wire was rubbing a bit on my old rigs monitors post.. When the FFB was high or a crash thst thing shook... Maybe even more than the new motion rig... It happened a few times before my upgrades but thought I secured it good with Zip ties... I.did do a race tonight with No issues!!

    Please do detail the parts used, as that is a genuinely creative approach I have not seen before.
