Broken Fanatec wheel pins - Don't despair

Broken Fanatec wheel pins - Don't despair

An all too common occurrence on a Fanatec steering wheel is the dreaded broken pin.

But don't despair here at SRM we can help.  We make a range of replacement parts that you can purchase in the shop so that you can get your wheel working again.

We have made replacement pin plugs for a long time and have just launched a new version. which you can find in the shop.

Why should you buy a replacement from Sim Racing Machines?

There are several places that you can get a replacement pin part from.
  • Direct from Fanatec
  • A company in China called Simube
  • Sim Racing Machines

The Fanatec part and the Simube part are both sealed in a plastic casing so it's not possible to repair them if they break again.  The Fanatec pins seem to be quite brittle and break fairly easily.

Fanatec HY part

SRM All in one part

Here at SRM we try to use only the best quality materials and packaging.  So we may not be the cheapest but I'm confident that we are the best.

Bear in mind that Fanatec have used three different connections to their wheels over the years.

  1.  8 Pin JST 2.0 pitch
  2.  12 Pin JST 2.0 pitch
  3.  12 Pin HY 2.0 pitch

The replacement pin plug we have sold for several years requires you to know what plug you need and choose the correct one.  Many customers get confused and order the wrong one!!!  With our new, All in one version you cannot make that mistake because it's a modular system and comes with all three plug types in the box.

Simube only seem to make the HY version.

The SRM pin plugs can also be repaired, not that they break unless misused. We sell a range of spare parts
