Thank you! The only video/source I could find that mentioned the screw sizes. Even Fanatec's own documentation doesn't bother to mention this!
Even a 3year "old" YT vid is still very helpfull. Thanks!
For anyone wondering, you can detach the lever and reattach it in a vertical position instead of angling the whole box upwards.
I think I'll add a thin "gasket" between the brake and the shifter housing to protect the components from scratching. Also, I've managed to align the ebrake so that h-patter/sequential switch can controlled from both sides.
Super thank you. Only video talking thru showing same time. Just got mine 2days now, but am gonna do it now.👍 Thanks man
Glad it helped
*UPDATE I hook it all up, including handbrake via adapter into pedal slot on base. Had to, but ok with it. Just a little more wire management. Thanks again 👨🏻🎓👨🏻🏫👍
Wow that's a very very convenient solution! So simple and mounts into good positions, thanks for sharing.
+Frank Zappa Glad to help. Thanks for watching
Plan on doing this when my new rig arrives, although I'm thinking I'll find a way to space it out from the shifter a bit, or at the least a piece of felt between the two to prevent scratches. Thanks for the video!
Matt Kundert
If you get the screws tight enough it shouldn't scratch the shifter. Mine are bit loose, but paint is cheap lol.
A moment of silence for the anodized finish being scrapped to hell.
That's a excellent idea!
Thanks!
Thanks Bro, I'm spending More Money now!!!! hahaha. I really liked that setup the first time I saw it in one of your DiRT Rally videos! Was wondering how you hooked it up, great video one that Thomas at Fanatec should use!
+T1MERUNN3R 414 Thanks man. Yeah this sim racing is an addictive hobby for sure, but I love it. I'm racing on some sim almost everyday.
Simple and amazing!!!! thank you for the upload! Subbed =D
Rafal Grabski I'm glad to help!
Neat. Cool. Well done. God knows why the people at Fanatec didn't think of that. Good job you did.
Ethan Harrison Thanks. You can also mount a bittkicker transducer to it as well. ;) I just mounted one on the front of it with the same screws.
Wait, so did they rip this guys idea off, on the fanatec page for the handbrake it's pictured mounted exactly like this.
I found mounting the handbrake on the right side of the shifter makes shifting into 7th gear difficult. Probably won't need 7th gear most of the time but it could be an issue when playing some games. I took out the lever and installed it backwards and then installed the handbrake on the left side of the shifter for now.
Yeah it is in the way at times. You hardly ever use 7th for sure though. Some people do what your saying and put it on the left side. I like the right side because it crowds me being on the left side plus 1st and 2nd gear are the most used gears so didn't want it in the way with my big hands. Thanks for watching and commenting
How is it with 5th gear? Any interference?
Thank you. Just what I needed!!
i like how you have it mounted
Thanks for your help,I've ordered and mounted mine the same.
Works really well.
Many thanks.
Awesome! Glad to help.
Great video and tip as i have now installed my eBrake as per your video except i have added it to the opposite side of the shifter as this seems easier to grab and also doesnt get in the way when going to 7th though i have never gone to 7th... :)
Many thanks for posting :)
Rob I am Awesomeness! Glad to help. Yeah I never go into 7th, but good thinking to just use the other side.
hey, sorry if this is a shit question - how do you get the inserts/sliders to fit on the side of the shifter? mine came separately, they're bigger than the columns on the side of the shifter
thanks for the vid either way!
if you want it straight up and down, why dont you put both nuts on the same side and bolt it using the 2 forward holes of the brake instead of the forward and back holes?
Jovanni Baeza Good idea! Was right there in front of me. lol
Damn thanks so much, solved my headache perfectly!
Jay sent me :D
Wonder if there is a way to get a 2nd moveable insert so you could mount it straight with the top and bottom holes? Either way great vid man!
Fanatec provides 4 movable inserts. The problem is that the handbrake is physically too large to mount straight up and down on the shifter.
Where'd you get the screws and screw holders? And do you happen to know what size the screw holders are? Mine came with nothing but the handbrake and cables.
The screw holders come with Fanatec clubsport shifter as well as the screws. They use M5 screws. Check out the PDF link here: www.fanatec.com/download/CSS-SQ-QG_Web.pdf
@@TJRSIM guess mine just didn't come with them lol thanks for the video!
@@trashpanda1965 you could always contact Fanatec and have them send those little guides to you. Your shifter should if had them though in the box. Glad I could help.
Thank you so much for the idea ! Cheers
Glad to help. Thanks for watching!
Hey! Big thanks for this video. Did you say the two screws you used to attach the HB to the shifter were 4mm? Do you have any idea how long they are? I only have the handbrake right now and I want to mount it to the clamp that's usually used with the shifter (without the rails provided from fanatec because I don't have them) I plan on buying the shifter once it's back in stock and then I should be ok.
I know this post is old but my question is does the hand break get in the way of the shifter?
Hey thanks for watching. It does a little depending on how you position it, meaning at what angle. But really only for those with bigger hands like mine. Hope this helps. Have fun!
Just installed my Handbrake on the side of my SQ shifter🤓👍!
Doesn't work in FORZA 😡!!
But works in Assetto Corsa which has better FF anyway ... Should work in Dirt Rally and all the other titles too.
Do you ever hit your thumb on the edge of the shifter going into 5th or 7th? I mounted mine between the wheel and shifter, but have nicked a knuckle a few times going to reverse too fast. Small learning curve lol.
Thanks a ton!!
TooManyChoices1 Yeah I have to watch it going to 5th. Never need 7th tbh
Cool, only wish the e brake was instovl. Been ages since they had some
yeah I hear ya. They are popular for sure. I've had mine since they came out So got lucky. Well at least you know they last a long time. :) Good luck buddy. It's a must have for Dirt Rally
BTW, you live in Texas right? If so, it'd be awesome to see you at the iRace4Life iracing seminar. FREE FOOD BRO!!!! If you need a place to crash and a rig to race on, you can use mine for a few races. V2 base w/momo mod 30 wheel, MPPC Sim pedals, RS1 Reat, sim vibe, it'll be just like home!!! And the shifter combo now that I've seen your secret!!!! lol .
+T1MERUNN3R 414 Oh that's awesome of you! Yeah I need to get out to one. I been thinking of trying to go. I'll look up when the next one is. And yeap I'm in Texas! BTW your rig does sound like home! Love it. I'm still saving for that momo rim :)
+TJRSim Awesome Bro!!! irace4life is April 27-29. if you need to pm me for more info, contact me through the isrtv.com site, same handle.
Cool. Thanks
Hi @TJRSim, it's me again! Do you remenber me? ;)
Is it two buttkickers mounted on the CSP!?
How they feel?
Maybe an idea for the next video. ;
I'm planning to buy very soon 4 transducers for my bucketseat, maybe two more for the pedals (why not!) :)
Nice video. Well done anyway!
You rock mate
Thanks man. Yeap I remember you. Yeah 6 transducers is about right and. maybe little crazy. lol I got 5 hooked up and like it a lot. Need another amp before hooking up my 6th one. Yeah I run 2 transducer on the pedal deck and 2 on the rear of the seat. Then got 1 gamer 2 in the middle under the driver seat. just be sure to divide up the signals to not overheat and clip the amps. Make for a good time for sure. My next setup is saving for a full motion rig.

+TJRSim Full motion rig, that sound good!
5 transducers already, i guest you use SimVibe software!
I also get 1 BKGamer 2, but i think i will sell it and stay with the 4 coming up transducers. and perhaps one or two more after, i will see!
Looking forward for your next video man.
Cheers
Thanks! This might be my solution!
Great video. I know you have used the simetik k2 chassis in the past. If I buy the shifter and handbrake will I have the necessary hardware to connect the shifter to the k2 shifter mount and then the handbrake to the shifter? Does the shifter come with four of the threaded channel inserts (2 to connect to k2, 2 to connect to handbrake)? Thanks for your help! Love the videos
Yeap it does. However if your getting the Simetek K2 you could also get their Fanatec handbrake kit that angles the handbrake at you. It's pretty cool. Thanks for watching
Do u happen to kno what size those tnuts are I either didn’t get any w my shifter or used them elsewhere I need to get some more
what kind of screw holders area those
never got them got it used where can i buy them
Hi where did you get the sliding slots? I cannot find it, is it not included with it?
Mine came with my wheel itself.
sitting here stressed out to fuck, then my main man TJR sorted it.
Subbed
Nice! Glad to help and thanks for the sub.
Any ideas if I can buy more of these sliders/connector blocks from somewhere? I use the 4 that came with mine to mount the shifter, could do with another 2 to mount my handbrake to it now.
I would actually just contact Fanatec to order some more. They don't sale them on there website, but surely they can sale a bag of them on the side.
Where can I get the bolts on the side to mount it? Great video.
Thanks man. The bolts are M6 x 15mm. Any hardware store will have them, but take a look in your box for the shifter if you still have it. Should be some extra screws in there that work. I used my extra ones I had.
TJRSim thanks man... what about the inserts that attach to your shifter, just ordered the hand brake thanks to this video!
the inserts come with the clubsport shifter itself. Should be in the box you received the shifter in. Happy to help!
The inserts were in the box of the shifter (in EU). I didn't get them with the handbrake.
someone please send/sell me 2 of them my shifter didn't come with any
I was looking to mount a bass shaker ( www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RGJ47S/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2PYQ04V32E1F1 ) to the side of the gear box. Do you know if this will fit? I tried finding the dimensions of the gear box but had no luck. Basically since the transducer is about 4 inches wide I was hoping the holes would like up if I went to mount this using 2 screws diagonally like you did with the brake. Do you know how many inches it is from one sliding insert to another? Thanks!
Sorry for late reply. Was out of town. Here is a link to the shifters mounting pattern to compare to the transducer you want to use. I use Buttkicker and they mount up. www.fanatec.com/download/CSS-CSSSQ_DrillingTemplate.pdf
Thanks again for your help!
Go for seventh gear. Enjoy your scraped knuckles.
Are the screws strong or can you jerk it off when you’re really giving it the business? I was always worried about jerking it off with too much force and damaging my unit.
Hello, It would be pretty hard for you to shear the 2 bolts holding the e-brake to the shifter. You could do a shear calc on it, but just a quick calc I did of a 1x 5/16" size screw made of 304ss which is 30 ksi yield (which I think this may be what they are made of and roughly the size of the screw if I remember correctly) you would need a force of 1572 lbf and your using 2x so that 3,064 lbf. You will most likely bend the handle first from any slight side pulling when playing. Hope this helps 🤙
My shifter didn't come with these bolts!! People are saying they have 4 of them, if you have an extra 2 I'll buy them!!! MESSAGE ME PLEASE HELP!
ok. Hit up Fanatec. They will send you some. Tell them they didn't come in the box. Or just heard to the hardware store and take the little inserts with use to size up the proper screw thread size. Only will cost about $1.50
got 2 spare here, you still in need mate?
Bolts come with the shifter
Just got my Fanatec handbrake a couple of days ago and modded it onto the Wheelstandpro. One thing I noticed in your video is that the lever is lot looser and doesn't require as much force as mine to pull. Is that due to wear and tear or did you loosen the tension on the spring or use some kind of lubricant?
Actually I wish mine wasn't as loose as it is. Fanatec is probably using stronger springs is my guess. But yeah my e-brake has lots of pulls on it, so I'm sure the spring is a little worn in. I didn't change anything internally on it though.
you might be able to find softer springs in the hardware shop.
***** With a plank of wood and the table clamp that the TH8A shifter comes with. I cut the wood to the same size as the bottom of the Fanatec Handbrake and drilled holes into the wood in the same locations as the pre-drilled mount holes on the bottom of the handbrake.
Separately I drilled two holes holes vertically into the back plate of the metal clamp. This allowed me to drill two extra holes in the wood which line up with the holes in the metal clamp.
For assembly I attached the metal clamp to the wood first by using screws going from the back of the wood through to the metal clamp. I then secured them together with nuts.
By having the screws facing through the metal clamp means I can line up and screw the other side of the wood to the Fanatec Handbrake. This bit was a little more finicky requiring a couple of the screws to be inserted in the other direction, but eventually I did it. Now that the Fanatec Handbrake is bolted to the clamp, you can clamp the handbrake anywhere you want. Since the Wheelstandpro comes with a long metal bar to normally mount a shifter beside the wheel, I clamped it to this bar. Pics below:
plus.google.com/106577240689351818801/posts/1atPfiugTzH
***** I don't have the mounting plate for the Fanatec V2 servo or V3 pedals either. This Wheelstandpro is made for the Thrustmaster wheels but the Fanatec V2 servo fits on without modification. See here: plus.google.com/106577240689351818801/posts/W2DLBZ4EAX6
The V3 pedals I zip tied down and you can see that here: plus.google.com/106577240689351818801/posts/CptjfEmUeHz
***** No problem dude, glad to be of help :) Having a full time job means I'm not in for deliveries which is why I've done DIY solutions for the mounts. I will eventually make a perma DIY solution for the V3 pedals, but actually using zip ties works better than expected. The key is to use really long zip ties (I used ones that are 295mm in length) and really thick zip ties. Though the downside is that you can only mount it really far back for it to be sturdy. I'll take some more photo's when I get home but yes, with the zip ties it's really study. No roll or anything, even when I apply the brake pedal really hard. Hopefully having an older version of the Wheelstandpro shouldn't really matter, but if I were you I'd contact the Wheelstandpro support team and see if your version is compatible with the RGS shifter addon :)
From where did you get the 2 blocks to mount it... the black 2 on the shifter
They came in the package as extras with my shifter. It those are called t-nuts so if you don’t have any you can order some on Amazon or ask Fanatec for some to purchase. I don’t recall the size though so you will need to measure the slots on your shifter. Hope this helps
Thx that helps me out👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I dont know until Today that this is possible. Thank you 😉
awesome! Glad to help
For no Scratches i take a bit of a Kitchen Roll and place it between the Shifter and the Handbreak.And yes its very strong if you Connect these both.😃
Thanks for this.
Thxs mate 👍
I have it connected but my PC womt recognize my shifter could you provide me with a driver link? Somehow I cannot find it
Ok, I saw your question on my other vid. Now I know your shifter. So to connect the Handbrake directly to the PC you will need to get the Fanatec USB adapter or connect it directly to your Fantec wheelbase or Fanatec pedals. I saw in the other post you use Accuforce so if you use Fanatec V2 and above pedals then connect there. If not you will need to purchase the USB Adapter. Here is my affiliate link for it. Cost $19.95 goo.gl/oWRku6 Hope this helps
@TJRSim can you find a link to the screws am having a hard time finding them online
So the screws you need to thread into the t-nut holders of the shifter are M5 x 10mm to 12mm. Here is an amazon link to them. They are inexpensive. amzn.to/2DfNKER
Yeah I get backwards sometimes myself
hello, you can mount the handbrake on either side of shifter ?
Yes you can. Thanks for watching
@@TJRSIM ty, ty for make a respond
@@rcmedia9516 anytime 👍
great video,do i need to buy the shifter support for this,anything else i need to get thanks
Thanks for watching and glad I could help. No, you don't need the shifter support unless you want to use it for your mounting situation. As long as you still have the SQ shifter and it's the hardware you will be fine as it contains the little slider nuts you need to attach the handbrake to it. Here is my affiliate link if you decide to get it. goo.gl/oWRku6 Appreciate it!
@@TJRSIM That's great can i put it on the left hand side of the wheel or is that when i need the shifter support cheers
@@bartman-hr6ho Either side is fine. It's the same little slider nuts you use.
@@TJRSIM Excellent ,just need to get a racing seat and rails then
Do the sliding pieces you put in the shifter come with the shifter or the hand brake?
they come with the shifter.
Awesome thanks! Your video was the deciding factor in my purchase! should be able to mount to my obutto perfectly this way!
+James Leslie Nice! Glad I could help you out.
Thx, that helped!
i have an t500rs on my pc, can i use the fanatec handbrake/usb adapter with it ??
Sure can. The adapter allows it to be used as a separate usb device on PC. Here is a link to Fanatec that helps the channel. Thanks goo.gl/pS29fP
thank you man =) i dont want do open my wheel , that handbrake with usb adapter is the best i can have =P
Your welcome. Glad to help. I love my Fanatec handbrake.
Can you put it on the other side of the shifter? Aussie over here
oh yeah. absolutely. I would suggest having your tension screw adjusted first to your liking as you will end up covering it with the ebrake.
ok thanks and does it work on xbox one(fh2 and fm6)?
Sadly it doesn't work with Forza 6. This isn't a problem with the hardware but a issue with Turn 10 not adding a map button for it. It does however work with Project Cars as Slightly Mad Studios thought of this. I sure hope Turn 10 adds the feature in the future though. The ebrake when connected to the V3 brake pedal deck will work with all consoles, but only if the game developer will allow it. So hit up the game developers to show your interest. Thanks for watching!
+TJRSim yeah I searched on the forza forums and there's a whole thing why they don't support it and so many people have sent emails but no reply. :(
+MrTacticalSloth Yeap. it sucks. Forza 6 would be even better with it enabled plus adding controls for FOV.
Need ur help sir.
I posted on the other vid of yours. Sorry for the delay.
I wish people could say Fanatec correctly lol. Fuh-nat-ic
Redslayer86 lol. Yeah I catch myself saying it wrong all the time, from not knowing long ago.
They didn’t send me those two nuts that go in the shifter what size are they
