I pulled the two screws out of the side, and I could probably figure it out with enough time in the garage, but I thought I'd give Eric something to do.

Pet calls it: 914 613 311 00 SWITCH HOUSING #22 in the pic.

How 'bout a nice Pet pic?

IIRC, there are another 4 screws accessible from the top, visible after you pull the steering wheel.

That's what I thought. Like I said, with more garage time. It's gettin a little chilly though. I just finished cleaning up the shift rods and took my neoprene gloved hands out of the solvent tank. Brrr...

Happy too. I'll post 'em in this thread and link it into my "rusto" thread. Probably won't be today though. I'm about ready for some sushi din-din.

I think the screen res has to be 1024x768 or 1280x1024 or higher for the pet to work correctly.

Sean is correct. I can't remember which though. I run a 19" at 1280x1024, so I never had an issue.

It might run OK at 1024x768 I assume you tried it at that resolution?

AFAIK it needs at least 1280 horizontal.

i've been told there are video drivers that 'virtualise' a larger screen image onto a smaller physical screen, and provide scrollbars so you can move your viewport into the larger virtual screen image. i wouldn't know where to find such a thing, tho ...

There are indeed. Can't remember where I saw (and used) the last one. Part of Hummingbird Exceed? I dunno. They will allow you to pan up/down and left/right to view the entire image in a larger "window" than your screen will actually support.

Gint,

Did you intend to give me something to do? I like the picture but my steering column looks different. My car came without a wheel but it has a hub of some kind on the steering column that looks like a basket (four columns joined at the top by a ring with screw holes in it) I assumed this was the stock piece but I don't see it in the PET diagram you posted. I'm going to have to take a picture now and see what the concensus is.

Erik

LOL No, sorry about that.

You need to understand though, that hub adapter is for a MOMO wheel. It's probably not stock. This is the first 914/6 column I've personally taken apart though, so what do I know?

If this is not stock, what the hell is it?

I just checked and my Momo wheel will not bolt up to that hub. I still could have used it though as my quick release unit advertises that it will adapt different wheels to different hubs.
