Care to share some info on the e-brake, I would love one!
For sure! It will be a bit of a take of Amstudio's video below. He has a full parts list with links in the description. I searched up some similar parts closer to Canada to get free shipping or minimize shipping cost.
The build fundamentally will be the same but since I chose a different e-brake and don't know anyone with a 3D printer, I'll fab up my own little take on Amstudio's build to make it work with a new potentiometer location and different type of contact linkage. Check out his other videos, they're fantastic! I didn't realize you could do so much so easily with sim racing gear. I haven't looked into what it would take to modify a G27 + DIY hand brake to be cross compatible with XBox 360, XboxOne, PS3, PS4,
and PC.
Eventually I'll figure out a cheap way to simulate an actual hydraulic system by using a cheap adjustable shock absorber for fluid restriction on lever pull and return, but the spring return as shown in the video should be just fine I'd imagine.
I bought the Obutto Ozone + Logitech G27 from BuzSTid on the forum for $400 with intentions of building a few new mounts and upgrading to a Fanatec set up eventually... but we'll see. The G27 works fine as it is, but I can only use it for PC Sim racing since it won't communicate with the Xbox One or PS4. Not a big deal though.
Also, I've never done anything like this so I have no idea what I'm talking about.
