Ok so you just want to duplicate how they put the 2 pcs on top of the cross bar?
If that is correct just buy some ( I must think metric ARRGH) 40MM X length of your motor mount extrusions and a few 90deg brackets with enough T nuts and bolts and you are good to go.
If you do not want to have to take off the cross bar on your already built cockpit you can get drop in T nuts.
Not sure where is closest to you to but the extrusions?
Simlab would sell you something I am sure, but ship from the Netherlands.
Thank you sir but I tried to take it off your hands a couple weeks ago but you were not ready to let it go at the time so I had to move forward cause my SC2 is on the way.

yeah man, thanks for the advice, I do know already well how to build with 8020 profiles
I am gonna buy 2 x 140mm 40x80 bars with 8 L-shape alu brackets. I already did all the math to find the perfect measures. but in order to do so I must place the upper bar of my rig horizontal instead of vertical as it is now, look :
that black one you see is the wheel deck I am using now with the simlab bracket, but it has a lot of flex with such heavy motors, this is the "entry level2 rig by simlab intended for lighter gear, thrustmaster, logitech, fanatec csw etc.
ps. motedis is where simlab itself buys all the bars and the connectors. when you buy something here, for example bolts or brackets, it comes in the very same package that simlab sells with his cockpits. so it is useful to buy directly from them to cut the middle part, and save quite a big amount of money.
Very cool you can buy direct.
8020 is easy to work with.
You just need to remember to slide all of the tnuts in before you tighten things down.
Yes just rotate the top piece horizontal. You can get 80mm wide 90degree brackets if you do not already have some.
Not really⌠tnuts are designed so that you can insert them from the front as well. Although admittedly it is a little more fiddly to get them rotated the right way.
Hi all again, so I am still looking for an adequate bracket - deck combo, I explain the main issue : I would like to buy the Augury bracket, to me it seems the most solid (and also the steel look itâs great imho), but because I need a plain deck to fit my rig - see my previous posts : in short, Simlab GT1 Evo isnât compatible with any front mount solution currently available because itâs just 480mm wide - I canât find any wheeldeck compatible with Augury bracket mounting holes, which measures are these :
But like I said, the holes in that SRComponents deck arenât right for the Augury bracket, I already asked the guys that sells this - simracecomponents.com - and they told me the only way to fit this bracket would be to drill the right holes in it, which is something I wouldnât want to do and nor I have the tools to do.
Therefore the question is : do you know if there exists a wheel deck similar to this which is natively compatible with Augury bracket, or the only options I am left with are to drill th deck / get another kind of bracket ?
In this case, can anybody tell me if the STR bracket has the same holes distance of the standard SRBay / Ascher bracket?
Thanks to anybody will be so kind to read the whole post
Simlab bracket will fit holes on that wheeldeck, itâs standard Fanatec mount pattern.
Unless you donât like bracket for some reason.
All other brackets are know use non standard.
thatâs the bracket I am using now, but it has no tilt option, which I am gonna need if I am mounting a new flat wheel deck like the one shown in the post above. I need a bracket with tilt adjustment.
I would also suggest drilling the holes yourself. Itâs not that hard, you just need a good way to locate the holes like with a punch and hammer, or an automatic center punch. Then a center drill bit, and then the drill bit of the full size hole you want to use. You can draw out the dimensions and position of the holes on a piece of paper, tape it down to the plate and use that for the center marks for each hole.
Another good idea would be to do a temporary mount using some kind of clamps (I use the kind meant for laminating wood, the kind with rubber jaws). This will allow you to quickly see if you like the position youâre thinking of using before doing any drilling.
