Gear and RPM indicators for sim racing by PizaCat

I remixed these parts as a starting point, but I could not add credit because the thingiverse remix search box is broken:https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3299262https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3302109https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3302092
Thanks to N1bbles for making them. I did not know that the T300 wheel had a removable bracket!
I modified all the parts to fit into each other, and require no glue or screws. I also designed a case for the gear indicator from scratch, and a mount that goes above the bracket.
The white insert is needed to diffuse the light from the RPM led strips (WS2812b x 2) which are way too bright otherwise.
Everything is managed by an arduino nano, which also drives via motor shield two rumble motors mounted to the gas and brake pedals (salvaged from an xbox 360 controller). On the software side, SimHub makes all of this possible easily for a ton of games.
