    Hello all!
    I am interested in building a DIY DD FFB wheel.

    Most things are clear so far, especially with all the resources available.
    However, I'm stuck on how to connect the steering wheel to the motor shaft.

    I am aware most setups use a MiGe motor with a 22mm keyway shaft.
    I have looked at the OSW wiki and they refer to 3 different keyless bushings (one of the links is dead):

    One on beltingonline: drivelock-13-22x47-dl13-9694
    And one on Maedler, which I am assuming is article 61562200.
    (Sorry, it would not let me post links)

    Once I have these, what are the next steps? The motor shaft keys would need to be removed since these bushings are keyless.
    How do I connect a 70mm wheel/QR to these bushings, given they are smaller?

    I have also found the VRS motor shaft hub adapter V2, which appears to be perfect. It is quite cheap already, but I am wondering if even cheaper options are available.

    Excuse my ignorance. Any guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
