Recently purchased from your eBay shop. Took me about 2 hours total to take the pedals off my rig, disassemble/reassemble and remount. Everything is working as expected, video was super helpful to follow along the way!
Amazing video! This helps me ALOT! When I got to the end, putting the side piece in I thought I had it wrong because it wasn't perfectly lined up. I actually stopped watching the video right before you said in the video not to worry about that. I was racking my brain wondering where I went wrong? Thought maybe the parts printed wrong. Then I finished the video to see how yours lined up and pow!
GREAT video. Easy DIY due to the video!!! I 100% recommend heating up the red middle screw! I put a heat gun on it for about 3-4 min..the bold came out super easy.
I didn't order from you but used a 3d print guide from thingyverse and installed with your video, it is great and all is very clear.. Thanks for everything
As far as loosening the fasteners, I would apply a penetrating fluid in conjunction with a freeze spray on the head of the screw. This will ensure the fluid will be drawn into the threads. Let it penetrate over night. Clean the head with a wood grain alcohol before attempting to turning the screw out. Applying heat is the wrong way to go, as it expands the aluminum and will actually make it more difficult to turn the fastener.
Helps if you’ve actually tried doing something before saying it’s wrong and won’t work. If you heat the bolts they will absolutely, 100% DEFINITELY be heaps easier to remove than trying to do so with no heat. The thread locking compound is what’s holding them in so tight and ALL thread locking compounds break down when heated. Moreover, the amount of expansion that occurs is absolutely minuscule!! It’s nowhere near enough to make them expand to the point that the threads actually bind up. As I said, don’t knock it without trying it. Anyway, the reason most people have problems is due to using shitty L shaped hex wrenches. If you use good quality hex bit sockets and a 3/8” ratchet, shouldn’t be an issue.
The spacers inner diameter needs to be greater than 16mm in-order for there to be some clearance with the shaft, the model has an inner diameter of 16.5mm. The lengths of the spacers are as follows: 1 x 36.25mm 2 x 40.25mm 1 x 42.25mm 3 x 78.75mm 1 x 84.75mm
@@simracingfix5686 just came in today. Doing the install this weekend. I see they are labeled F1 - F4, and B1 - B4. I assume F for front, and B for back, and the numbers are the order they go in, from right to left?

Please I need to extend the shaft so I can push the brake pedal and clutch pedal do you know where I can buy the shaft separately thanks and also do you know the diameter of the shaft is it made of aluminum or stainless steel thanks
I want to put mine back to 3 pedal but didn't take note of the sequence or size of the old spacers as I took them off......... does anyone know the right order of the original spacers to take it back to 3 pedal? Google has failed me
Hi, I'm having serious kneepain with my current pedals, I'm thinking about buying the v3's with this kit, could you please tell me the exact distance between the center of the brake and throttle pedal? thanks in advance
Some people have said he isn’t but there are several sellers on eBay selling them and they’re also on Etsy and aliexpress and thingyverse. Between all those places you should be able to find them no probs.
Hey Aaron. The spacers are not under any load whatsoever so plastic is a perfectly fine application for this. The pedals also have bronze bushings that support the rotation of the pedals which means the spacers don’t move or come in contact with moving parts in any way.
could u also remove the clutch and reposition the brake pedal without the spacers? because i don’t have a 3d printer but i still want to reposition the brake like u did
@@simracingfix5686 couldn't you just swap the clutch and brake around? The clutch doesn't need to be functioning in the middle but couldn't you just keep it there to take up the space?
Hi! I don't have a 3D printer but I actually have some pipe that fits the dimensions of the spacers, I just need to cut it to correct lengths. Can you tell me the lengths of the spacers? Thank you in advance.
Hey do you remember by any chance the aluminum screw sizes? I know they're M6 but dont know the lenghts. I want to replace them with stainless steel instead of this butter.
WARNING!! THIS COULD BREAK YOUR PEDALS LIKE MINE! I found that the spacers needs some filing or trimming in the inner diameter to fit properly (depends on your printing quality). Also, not sure here but when everything is tightened, the pedals movement gets a bit heavier (guessing because the somewhere in the spacers just a bit longer, could be because of my printer). After assembling back I tried to ensure to put back the pin of the gas pedal to allow for the sensor to read correctly. And after connecting rumble motor & sensor wires I launched the fanatec manager and updated to the latest firmware and tested. Brake and its rumble motor are working. However, gas pedal not showing any signal but the rumble motor is working. I contacted fanatec support and waiting for now, any solution would be appreciated. Other than these issues your solution seems great. Update: It seems that doing this way void the warranty. Fanatec refused to take it back under warranty. They told me to send it to them for checking but all under my cost which is frustrating. Anyway my guess is that its a problem with the RJ12 connector in the PCB as I have seen in Fanatec forums, which can happen without any reasons for only disconnecting the sensor hall. Anyone planning to attempt doing this mod just by mindful that the same might happen.
m.th-cam.com/video/pQhYXAoBKls/w-d-xo.html Just saw that video and it could be an issue with the driver/firmware what is causing your problem. Remove the driver from your computer and reinstall it. Than you have to flash the firmware on the pedals again! Hope that would solve your problem without any costs! It's a pity that the support didn't mentioned this solution 😕
So to be fair I don’t think the spacers could break the pedals. With careful disassembly and reassembly there should be no issues. As always, any sort of modification to your equipment should be done at your own risk.
I just move the entire kit to the left on my rig. No spacers required and I keep my clutch pedal for use as a clutch or mapped to anything I want. For example, to mimic the McLaren MP4/12 extra pedal.
Yeah these screws are butter. I'd love to do this mode but I'm really scared to mess up the screws.. Edit: I managed to remove all of them, just ordered replacement screws on ebay :D

I would love to 3d Print these spacers at my house. Did you say the STL files are shared?

Where does the race bar in middle come from. The spacer kit or comes with original pedal kit. My v3 arrives tuesday
Thanks so much for the video. This was incredibly helpful.

Great job man! Kit works beautifully and braking has gotten so much easier now! Cheers!

Thanks, It is really helpful !!
Hi, do you know the specification of the bolts on the side? I have threaded one of mine, so I need to drill it out and then replace it.
What is the size of the side screws on the frame? Need to replace the shitty aluminum ones.
are you still Printing 3D spacers for V3s...? i'm very interested !!!
Is it possible to do it with v3 inverted?

Google has failed me
You still need the order of the spacers mate? Lemme know if you do.
Anybody help mapping the original spacers to the instructions of this mod?
Forgot about that when dismantling 😅
Does the support bar come with the pedals or with the spacer kit ?
Are these spacers still available ?
Hi, I'm having serious kneepain with my current pedals, I'm thinking about buying the v3's with this kit, could you please tell me the exact distance between the center of the brake and throttle pedal? thanks in advance
Hey there. You’re looking at around 205mm or 8” from center to center of the pedal faces. Let me know if that helps.
Are you still making these for the V3 pedals
Some people have said he isn’t but there are several sellers on eBay selling them and they’re also on Etsy and aliexpress and thingyverse. Between all those places you should be able to find them no probs.
Will this work with the inverted v3 pedals?
THX for this Video!
Excelente… una pregunta, como se llama el kit que usas para los tornillos?
Being plastic, have the spacers shown any signs of wear since being installed? I feel like aluminium would be a better material for this.
Hey Aaron. The spacers are not under any load whatsoever so plastic is a perfectly fine application for this. The pedals also have bronze bushings that support the rotation of the pedals which means the spacers don’t move or come in contact with moving parts in any way.
@@simracingfix5686 nice, thanks for the reply! I'll be ordering a set soon!
could u also remove the clutch and reposition the brake pedal without the spacers? because i don’t have a 3d printer but i still want to reposition the brake like u did
Yes. You can find the spacers for sale here! www.etsy.com/listing/1002369933/fanatec-clubsport-v3-pedal-brake
Meaning you can buy the spacers. You can’t remove the clutch without doing something to fill the remaining space which the spacers accomplish.
@@simracingfix5686 couldn't you just swap the clutch and brake around? The clutch doesn't need to be functioning in the middle but couldn't you just keep it there to take up the space?
@@traviss9059 yes. If you’re an animal. 😂
@@traviss9059hy dear, did you find a way to switch the clutch and brake pedal without spacers? I want to do like you
Are you shipping these to Denmark?
Yes! I ship all over the world. Etsy is the easiest place for international purchases. etsy.me/3HwOQvp
Hi! I don't have a 3D printer but I actually have some pipe that fits the dimensions of the spacers, I just need to cut it to correct lengths. Can you tell me the lengths of the spacers? Thank you in advance.
Hey. I don’t have the measurements off hand. You can go to Thingiverse and find the files and measure them. It’s pretty specific lengths.
Hey do you remember by any chance the aluminum screw sizes? I know they're M6 but dont know the lenghts. I want to replace them with stainless steel instead of this butter.
Look for some 15mm M6 flange head screws, those should work!
@@simracingfix5686 what about the screw size for the footrest plate?
They’re M4 bolts. Can’t remember the length, about 10mm or so. Just get a ruler and measure them.
Thanks a lot!! :) have a great day
You too!
Do you think this kit would work for the inverted pedals?
No unfortunately. I don’t have access to an inverted pedal set to make spacers.
Where you can buy the good spacers for that ?
www.ebay.com/itm/194024543650
Does this work for v3 Inverted pedals?
It does not unfortunately. I don’t have access to a set to design the spacers and the assembly is different.
Thank u ❤
Do u really need a spacer to do this ??
Nice!!!
