Today in the garage we make the base to mount the new Simagic M10 Direct Drive wheel base to our rig. I used 4mm Mild Steel plate, cut, folded and welded using my BOC 182 Mig Welder. The plate is fully adjustable for distance to the driver as well as height and angle. The paint I used is an aerosol truck bed liner made by Rustoleum. I really recommend it, its great stuff and gives a good finish and is very hard wearing!
As a bonus I also fit the new (but secondhand) Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals, these are a loadcell pedal that is a great improvement over the old Logitech G29 setup I originally used when building the rig.
I'm hoping they provide a considerable improvement in consistancy and lap times on iRacing. But you will have to wait a bit until I finish that film!
Smoking Steel Garage is a channel dedicated to DIY fabrication, Sim racing, and general motoring shenanigans. I'm no expert in any of the above, But with a "can do" attitude I can usually get it done! My aim is to motivate you to have a go.
If you see me doing something wrong or you think there is better more effective way let me know in the comments below!
Big shout out to my favorite channels and sources of inspiration, if you haven't followed them already head over and take a look.
