I just stumbled on this video, and what a great video it is. I am looking at the simmsons pro pedal set, which is basically the same as simjack. The only thing that was holding me back was that i wasnt sure they would work on some of the sims you showcase in this video. And now i found the answer..you sir are a legend..thank you very much 👍👍👍

Great racing there, could have easily been a worse outcome on many occasions, but at the same time very frustrating. It's a shame it was taken out of your hands and decided my the group of cars in front of you. I thought you'd done enough when Roland wend wide at the bottom of the Esses and you built the gap, but Nicolas was just to quick and the traffic wasn't kind to you.

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.
