It's been a while since I came into the forums and is surprised someone had the same idea as me, but I don't know what's the difference between mine and you guys but I sorta could get the angle/position correct and it felt like it was sticking way too out and interfered with my legs. Do you guys have similar problems?
My other problem was that as I made a plate to re-use the 2017 steering controls on my aftermarket steering, I've problems assigning for space for the cruise control.

It is DXF-File but I added .txt to the file (otherwise it wouldn't attach).
Anybody with a milling machine or water cutter etc. can use that file to cut this cruise control bracket.

If you want to adapt the file you can download Draftsight which is a free CAD software.

I purchased this deep dish aftermarket steering wheel off Aliexpress (less than $30) and used a splash steering wheel adapter to mount it. I only had an issue with the horn button which wasn't working properly and replaced it with one I got off Ebay. (I got a neutral one but you can get and fit all sorts of horn buttons with Transformer/Autobot and what not on it as this is all standardized).

The main reason I got this, is because I have a relatively long-leg-to-arm-length-ratio and wanted to get the steering wheel closer without having to move the seat forward (without having to bend my knees significantly):
7 Years later your file has done me wonders! Thank you and as always will credit you for the design!
