Show us your Rig / Cockpit

[metalnwood]

I've got a P1 rig too. I'm looking at the picture and can see how the front is mounted but not the rear. I also have a Sparco Rev II.

Is your seat exactly the same width as the inside of the P1?

Any links to the hardware you used would be appreciated too. Cheers .

My seat is nearly the width of the inside of the p1, in this picture you can see that I just got an piece of angle from the hardware store. It is40 wide but taller and maybe 4mm thick steel.

I just put a bolt down in to the 4040 profile underneath that is taking the weight of the seat and the bracket is just keeping the seat in place. The bracket is just something like this https://www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/carinya-heavy-duty-angle-bracket-40-x-80-x-40mm-galvanised/p/216886

For the rear ones you slide them in the t slot until they touch the side of the seat. The top ones cant do that so you can just put a bunch of washers together to make a spacer.

Thats awesome dude. Love it. 27 or 30inch monitors? BTW i got dust too while living in a cold environment, but thats because the vacuum and mop doesnt see much action.

Thanks...they're 27" Monitors. Got the Fanatec shifter and handbrake and repurposed the G27 shifter as a button box (but I'll probably replace that with a Streamdeck later)...so I'm done...maybe.

add some mood lighting...good times

There was not way I could live very well in a fixed seat if I didnt get the angle I got for my racing.

You can see here the bracket for the front mounts and a taller bracket mounted to the 8020 under the rig.

That may be true for many, I mostly race open wheelers so I would say my position is better, but the article points to many things that don't matter for sim racing so I will take my comforrt where I can get it

Got a closeup of your SFX servo mounts mate? I'm intrigued..!

Inspired by many of the amazing rigs on this thread, this is mine as of yesterday. Upgraded from a very reliable Playseat challenge to the Sim Labs GT 1 Evo rig with Sparco Rev seat.

The internet rumours that this seat was likely to be too small for an average chap like me, were happily unfounded

Pic of the rig finished but have since upgraded to V3 pedals

What brand is your seat?

I have the GT Omega car race seat and frame

Hi
They are PT actuators. Very similar to Sim-Department eu. Cost 5500$
Yea, they aren’t cheap, but not expensive as D-Box
They are very strong and silent,
I really was thinking to jump on the SFX ruote and after doing some calculations, the SFX would’ve costed me almost 3500$. Here in Israel the costums are very expensive. Add to that all the printing and internal, wiring.... that a lot of time . I have a lot of work and family so I went for this.

Good research, looks like the exact same system Sim-department offer.

My temporary plan:
The monitor is hung on the fish tank with lace, toilet paper suspension , feeling very good, my first wheel, childhood dreams come true.
Sorry, my English is not good.

 

[Chimaera]

toilet paper suspension

This is genius, and you could customize by switching brands for different feeling - soft, hard, extra absorbent for wet weather driving. The list is endless!
