Simple button plate for the Sparco replica open top steering wheel you can buy on Aliexpress.
It is nothing special, but is functional. It was built for use with a SRM Fanatec Emulator so has only 9 buttons + Directional Joystick. Do not particularly like the D-Pad, but the rest is OK-ish. Has built in spacer + mount blocks for paddle shifters.
