G27 Clamp Just broke

[Scott Webber]

I have a fairly new G27 wheel, like 7 months old, it's not under warranty as this is a new one for my old wheel that has the same problem (clamps broke on that) so logitech replaced the whole wheel, this time it won't happen and i don't want to keep doing it.

What can i get as a replacement for these clamps, and how would i go about fitting them on to the wheel? any help is appreciated

 

[Robert Bachmayer]

use the mounting holes in the wheel base?
like ffb much?

As above download the schematics from Logitech. Drill holes into desk, or a slab of mdf buy some bolts and Robert is your father's brother.

Edit. You may also be able to buy some longer bolts and go through the existing clamps and just add a diy clamp with a wing nut or something.

Yes i like FFB, that's the whole point of a force feedback wheel

@Robert Bachmayer @snyperal has any of you got a picture/ diagram for this? i have looked everywhere and can't see anything, where to put the bolts, i know i need M6 bolts, i'm just baffled as to where to put them and how to do it.

Really appreciate any help @Bram Hengeveld @Rupe Wilson would you guys know anyone or anything about my problem? i am currently wheel less until i get this clamp problem sorted.

Thanks, and even if the clamps are gone from my wheel, the bolts in that position will be fine? i dont want my wheel moving at all!

If you have a new wheel within warranty do not start repairing stuff yourself. Make sure to contact Logitech support and they will most likely replace your broken wheel with a new one.

Happened to me when I bought my G27 which had issues within a few week. One phone call and they send a new item to replace it. Top service I have never experienced before.

Did you get to keep the dodgy one? I'd have some fun /modding that.

 

[Scott Webber]

i still have it yes, you want it? lol

Who wouldn't I mean the modability alone is immense.

my first one was in warranty and the clamp broke in the same place, i got a new one straight away (the one i have right now) but this one is out of warranty now

Logitech has great support
