Hi Left888 ,
basically Frex shifter have 3 bare wire to be connected to usb board ,
so you can
1. cut the wire from your Fanatec Seq Shifter and connect them to the ps/2 and direct to your wheel
or 2.
Much easier is to connect the barre wire comming from FRex Sequential to my button box here ( just by wiring directly to any of those point on the board HERE

Damsel in distress:
Please test the shifter in sequential mode with the spring tension set to maximum.
Is it EXTREMELY hard to shift/pull?
Please try pulling/pushing from the knob and the rod.
Many thanks

Why not have someone make a new shorter shaft/lever? I mean you can easily remove the upper part of the lever by unscrewing counter clockwise. It'll separate below the black plastic spacer.

Finished my TH8RS mount / console today (to fit between the modules of a sofa and use with a Wheelstand Pro). Pictures below.

Hi everyone, have you already connected the TH8 using a usb hub on with t500rs?
I haven't noticed issues with that.
the manual says that you have to connect using separate ports, why?
On PlayStation®3, when using the Thrustmaster shifter with the T500 RS racing wheel, we recommend that you connect both devices (the racing wheel in particular) directly to your PlayStation®3's USB port. However, if you are using a USB hub, connect the T500 RS racing wheel to the PlayStation®3 and the TH8 RS to the hub.

Look very good, maybe offer a bespoke custom service?

I think I want to get this shifter. It's not clear to me where I can buy it from within Canada. Any suggestions?

It's not available in Canada, I've tried e-bay and amazon. One got lost in the mail from e-bay and I cancelled the one from amazon after they jerked me around for 3 weeks. We should see them up here around March?

This is purely to make sure there is enough power to drive the electronics in the wheel and the shifter. The powersupply with the wheel is purely for powering the force feedback motor. Anyhow, the reason they have this warning is not to say it is impossible, it is just that there are USB hubs on the market that draw too much power themselves leaving too little to power the devices.
I hope this answers your question?

Thanks for the comment Mook, but it's just a one off made of scrap materials.

OK, not sure how the other guy did it, but I couldn't figure out how to not use the black surround piece and maintain rotation for switching between h-pattern and sequential. I don't mind having it there though. Obviously this is a work in progress but you can get the basic idea. I might move it over. I left lots of extra space for other stuff such as buttons and LED's which will start being installed as soon as my SLI-Pro gets here.
It was important to me to have the location of the shifter be similar to a real car, so it's probably far away for some people's tastes, but it feels very accurate.

I'm planning to hide the black part of the shifter by using 3 millimetre board. By taking the metal H plate off, drawing the out line then cutting the shape with a jig sawOK, not sure how the other guy did it, but I couldn't figure out how to not use the black surround piece and maintain rotation for switching between h-pattern and sequential.

But then how will you switch to sequential mode?

I mounted my Th8 RS on the Playseat shifter mount with the method NeoAgent showed. Worked perfectly, took about 2 minutes once I actually fitted the mount to the seat
and is very stable. I will now start to practice heel toe shifting and try to use it more when I'm not doing WRS. It is a beautiful shifter and looks great on my Playseat GT.
