When playing your favorites sim racing or sim driving games, do you want to feel like a pro? if yes, you can use those parts to enhance your sensations during the games.
Extensible Eaton Fuller style shift knob for Thrustmaster TH8A shifter for American/Euro Truck simulator games, for PC only.
The shifter handler it is connected to a 9 custom push buttons box that can be used to map to any commands you want from your game.
The 9 button box it is connected to a 3d printed support that goes under the Thrustmaster TH8A (build for this shifter size and shape).
The support it is locked in place under the shifter and makes the 9 button box being easily accessible in front of the shifter.
The 9 button box support has the ability to rotate approximate +/-10 degrees left or right to fit your most comfortable position.
The support has 4 holes to connect the box (only 2 are used), this allow the box to be moved left or right by 3 cm if you find it more comfortable for you.
The support also has some cable management features (one central hole to allow the cable from the shifter and the USB cable from the box to be channeled under the support) to make the cables use a channel and not be all over the place.
The 9 buttons are momentary push buttons that can be used in your game.
This handle it is suitable for right hand users.
This shift knob can be used with 6, 12, 18 speeds onto the American/Euro Truck simulator games.
The connector between the handle and the shifter axle it is 3d printed and create a very nice transition, making the new handle fit and look like a real (heavy) truck shifter.
The handle cover with the gears marks may be black or silver and the speed marks may or may not be present based on the available stock.
You will not receive the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter or the wheel: you will receive the new shifter with 3 embedded buttons, the cable from the shifter to the electronic box and the USB cable from the electronic box to the PC (those will be connected and assembled), a 3d printed connector to connect the shifter to the handle from the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter, a screw to lock the connector to the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter and a screw to lock the connector to the handle.
This knob replace the standard round knob from the standard Thrustmaster TH8A shifter and, beside more a comfortable "truck like" touch, it adds 3 buttons (2 rockers for speeds split and range functionality, and one temporary push button that you can attach to any function you want).
To install the shifter, you need to remove the original round knob, then put in the 3d printed connector and lock it in with the longer screw. Then push in the handler and you can lock it with the side screw (if needed).
Then put the support under the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter (this will add 5 mm under your shifter).
Then plug the USB from the button box into your PC, set your new controls in the game and start playing as a PRO.
The handle has a USB connection that will need to be connected separately to your computer. Your computer will see it as a new joystick that you can use in parallel with the Thrustmaster TH8A (you will need to add it also in the game controllers and set the new buttons).
Those items are for the Thrustmaster TH8A shifter
The installation it is very easy, you can see it here in action: https://youtu.be/-Ng9lKajkpg
Those parts are build from strong plastic material (PETG - strong thermic and mechanical resistance) on my 3d printer, here in US.
You will receive only the 3d printed parts ( not the original Logitech steering wheel - that is in the picture only to show you the assembled aspect)
Those parts are tested on my Logitech G29 wheel and printed on a 3d printer from PETG material. The design it is my own.
There are 2 models available:
- Th8a-18Spd+9BtnBox -> you will receive the shifter, the base support and the 9 button box with black mate face
- Th8a-18Spd+9BtnBox+CarbonFiber -> you will receive all from 18Spd+9BtnBox, but the face of the box it is covered with carbon fiber vinyl.
If you are interested, I also have many other mods for this steering wheel: pedals, double pedals, magnetic shifters, quick release wheel ..., just look in my store
