I'm not an engineering type by any stretch of the imagination, but have you looked around to see if there are any chair racing groups in your area? Many of those folks are old hands at rigging things up, unless they have the disposable income to buy a super nice racing chair.
My ex-h was an athlete, loved racing and sledge hockey. He was also handy with a soldering gun. ;) He used a quickie chair for every day use, didn't modify that one since that was paid for by his good insurance, but one of his friends was way into home-shop mods they loved to geek out together. I would email contact a group like that, try to find out if they know of anyone who likes to tinker.
