I've had the wood to build mine since last fall and just haven't had the time (or nice enough weather on my day off) to get everything cut & built, same basic design in my head as yours but I plan on doing the monitor mount like the channel CKW did in a video 6 years ago "Triple Monitor Mount For Sim Rig". I'm planning on adding a sliding keyboard/mouse tray under the wheel like a traditional pc desk has.
Hi, You use 6x90mm and 6x140mm screws or 8x90mm and 8x140mm screws on that build? Now I also build this rig for myself, but I don't know which screw to use.
For the pedals, do you need the pedal plate? or could you just use some screws and put it straight into the wood? I ordered the pedals already, just wondering if you could do that
@@garb.5220 you might be able to if you put the wood (or more pieces) in the correct place. But a plate is a bit easier/neater especially if you want to angle the pedals a little. For me they are flat so it’s ok.
Hello, it's me again. I have already mentioned before that I made the same cockpit that you have with your plans, but I have only one problem and that is how to adjust the seat (in my case Ford Focus seat) to the wood. The rails are quite short and I don't know how to remove them to screw them to the wood, so I only screwed the back part and when braking too hard sometimes the seat rises. I don't know if I could leave you my email and you can send me some ideas or photos. Thank you very much for your help, your material is invaluable.
Call it Old Sparky!
You are always so helpful, Mark.

The good thing about wood - it’s very adaptable!

No pre-drilling needed. Use good quality screws and you will have no issues.
