This Is My Knex Wii Wheel With Auto-Centering. This Means That When You Turn The Wheel, It Will Automatically Center Itself. The Bottom Looks A Bit Weird But Its Handy, You Can Set The Height.
A Knex Wii Wheel With Auto-Centering Wasn't My Idea, I Saw It At Instructables (Made By Bartboy).
I Called This V1 Because I Think I'll Make A V2 Of It. But I Don't Now When I'll Make That.

If You Have Any Questions Or Problems, Please Leave A Message. Maybe That Will Also Help Me For The V2. Ofcourse You May Also Leave A Message, Just For Your Opinion.

Tip: You Can See The Pictures At Full Scale, So It's Easier To Build. This Is How To:
1) Go To Te Picture You Want To See At Full Scale.
2) Then (At The Top Left Corner) Click The "i" Icon. Now You'll Be Redirected.
3) Now Click "1600 x 1200" At The Left. Now You've Got The Full Scale Picture!
