    anyone have any info on the interchangeability of the f1 paddles between the 360 and 430 without changing all the mechanism. those extra long paddles on the 430 challenge look ridiculously good.

    They bolt straight on, but good luck finding ONLY the paddles. Ferrari started selling it only as the whole thing with all the switches and bracket a while back. Plenty of aftermarket carbon-fibre ones around though; Hill enineering do carbon challenge sets.

    thanks for the info guys.
    that explains the massive price differential then between the 360 and 430. you get only the pair of paddles with one and everything with the other.
    im going to see if i can dig out a set of the metal oem ones somewhere. glad to hear the hole spacing is the same though.

    The offsets are different between 360 and 430 Challenge cars. On 430 there is a quick disconnect which is not on the 360 steering wheel.

    If I recall correctly 360 paddles on 430 will mean the paddles are a bit too far from the steering wheel. Or maybe it's the other way around.

    that sounds perhaps right. im waiting to see a pair but it seems like putting these on the 360 will bring them closer to the steering wheel. how much closer i wont know until later though. tbh a touch closer wouldnt be a bad thing though too close would be no use whatsoever.

    If too close then you'll be shifting gears every time you turn the steering wheel. :D
