GUIDE TO FITTING YOUR CONVERSION USB KIT: ASETEK SIMSPORTS FORTE & LA PRIMA WHEELS

· Torx Wrench Keys : T10 (3mm) and T15

  (4mm). If you do not have these you can

  purchase these from our shop for £7    

  (£5 if ordered with the colour kit).

· Allen Key: 4mm A/F

· Cloth or soft area (to protect and rest

   your steering wheel on).
 

· USB Conversion Kit (including the 5-off

  M5 x 16mm Long Socket Cap Head

  Screws)

· Small container to keep all your

  removed screws etc safe. 

·  Place the Wheel carefully face down

   onto your soft surface (or cloth).

·  Remove the paddle by unscrewing the

   retained M3 screw using a T10 (3mm)

   Torx Wrench Key.

·  IMPORTANT! Try to keep the Torx

   Wrench Key away from the paddle

   magnet (as it easily scratches the

   magnet surface)

 · Make sure your Torx Wrench Key is a

   good fit as these screws may be tight

   the first time of loosening. A poor fitting

   Torx Wrench Key can result in you

   rounding the hole on the top of the

   screw head.

 · Repeat for the other paddle.

· Remove the four M4 x 10mm long

  Countersunk Head Torx Screws from the

  grip using a T15 (4mm) Torx Wrench Key.

·  If using your own Torx Wrench Key,

   make sure the fit is good as these

   screws may be tight the first time of

   loosening. A poor fitting Torx Wrench

   Key can result in you rounding the hole

   on the top of the screw head.

 · Repeat for the other grip.

· Remove the fourteen screws from the

  rear of the wheel using a T15 (4mm) Torx

  Wrench Key.

· If using your own Torx Wrench Key,

  make sure the fit is good as these

  screws may be tight the first time of

  loosening. A poor fitting Torx Wrench

  Key can result in you rounding the hole

  on the top of the screw head.

· Gently pull the two casing halves of

  the wheel apart (not too far as the cable

  connection will have a limited length). 

· Carefully unplug the molex connector

  from the PCB.

· Undo the four M5 x 16mm Long Socket

  Head Cap Screws from inside the rear

  wheel housing, using a 4mm Allen Key.

· These will be very tight to loosen as they

   will be thread lock on them, so make

   sure your Allen Key is a good fit . 

   A poor fitting Allen Key can

   result in you rounding the hole on the

   top of the screw head.

· Feed the Molex connector through the

  rectangular hole in the metal plate and

  carefully remove the quick release from

  the rear wheel housing. Pay particular

  attention to the large spring, making

  sure it is not lost as you do so.

· Feed the new cable assembly from the

  Conversion Kit through the rectangular

  hole in rear wheel housing (this also

  passes through the metal plate on the

  inside) 

· Locate the black aluminium part into the

  rear housing recess (where the Quick

  release was situated before) 

· IMPORTANT! Note the orientation of the 

  black aluminium part (as shown in the

  photo, with the USB cable pointing

  downwards in releation to the wheel

  housing)

· Making sure the metal plate is situated

  in place on the inside of the rear

  housing, tighten the four M5 x 16 screws

  (using the 4mm A/F Allen Key) through

  the metal plate into the threaded holes

  of the Conversion Kit's black aluminium

  part.

· Carefully connect the Molex connector

  to the PCB as shown

· Re-Assemble the wheel (steps 1 to 3 in

  reverse)

· Its now time to finally add your specific

  connection system that allows you to

  use the wheel with your wheelbase of

  choice. 

· The conversion kit allows attaching

  either a 70mm hole pattern Quick

  Release or spacer or the SC2 wheel side

  QR.  The holes on the conversion are all

  threaded so if using a threaded QR like

  the AccuForce, Moza, Simmagic or NRG

  you will need an adapter.

· In the example shown we are attaching a

  SC2 Quick Release System. 

·  Use the screws (and spring washers)

   provided with the Simucube Quick

   release system. 

·  If using another wheel side system we

   have provided five M5 x 16mm Socket

   Cap Head Screws in the small red 

   pull-cord bag.

·  Congratulations your wheel is ready to

   use.

· Attach it to the wheel base, plug in the

  USB and fire-up the Racehub software.

· If you fancy a change from the default

  orange-accented wheel we have 13

  other colour kits to choose. Go to our

  shop and Search Colour Kits or Button

  Cap Sets.
