Attaching DD Pro Pedals to F-GT Lite Chair Base:
Unfortunately, both Fanatec & Next Level Racing DON'T provide the ideal screws for you to fully install the pedals.
For the back two I used: Screws and nuts included with the chair.
For the front two: C2 cylinder spacers are provided. I bought two M6 30mm screws from B&Q UK
To make the chair more stable, I used Rachet Straps (credit to 'Steve Clements' for the idea)

I used ur recommendations a while back, but hadn't seen the Pt2 video. This is the best guide for this rig and wheel combo by a LONG way. The way you mounted the wheelbase to its plate is VERY well explained. Well done, sir!

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Thanks mate 👍🏽

[@FlexxRG]

helped me with the plate for the gt dd pro, invaluable le. thank you!

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Good to hear mate

[@ChannelAccount-jr3wo]

Thanks so much dude, I have the same setup (NLR gt lite and csl dd). This helped me to mount correctly the base !

[@dexterk1902]

Best explanation video on KZbin thank you ! 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Many Thanks and you're welcome

[@Joe.484]

nice job with the straps! Nice Racing Slippers btw ;) I Just bought it - nice review. Cant wait... Playing with a Wooden Chair and and a foldable workbench ;) Together with VRII will bring so joy.

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Lol, cheers, yes that will be a nice upgrade 👍🏽

[@reviewforthetube6485]

The new stands come with more holes now. Meaning all of there cockpits now support these out of the box.

[@johndang514]

Thanks for the detailed info. I'm building the same rig and this helped w the planning for it. You should definitely invest in the CSL load cell brake and the 3drap mods to improve the load cell brake travel.

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Thanks mate, glad I was able to help. I think I might have to upgrade, as a few chaps have suggested the same 😂

[@naterod]

I was going to get something else that was far sturdier but my TV actually fell into my wheelstand while I was at work so now I also have to buy a hisense u8g so I'll get this thanks for the vid, all the other reviews were too old for even the CSL DD and all the wheebases they used were like Logitech and Thrustmaster which are far less powerful. I just recently upgraded to the GT DD Pro. I certainly hope this is enough for the load cell I think someone on reddit said his friend had the load cell amd 8nm boost kit and he said it worked just fine. I'll eventually get an aluminum profile rig but for now this is ok for now.

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Glad I was able to help, yes I may also up the load to 8nm once I get better, the setup I have is now a solid fit

[@joshuadelellis852]

How did it handle the 8nm?

[@ChoccoMonsta]

[@antoniojaguilar3596]

You mentioned you bought M26 bolts for the pedals, but did the base for the steering wheel need additional bolts / screws as well?

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Hi, no for the wheelbase I used included ones, removed the base plate and turned it 180

[@yonken357]

Thank you

[@ChoccoMonsta]

You’re welcome

[@stanleymaisonneuve3062]

The bolts supplied with the chair are kind of loose for the pedals , how did you tighten them ?

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Hi, I used the Alan key to turn from the top, but also a set of plyers to hold from the bottom so that the Nut would stay in place as I turned the Alan key to tighten

[@carternemerson3958]

Not sure if you are still replying to comments but do you ever change the chair into a formula setup and if so how well does your setup hold

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Hi, not tried it mate

[@Gattsu1986]

Was the NLR seat moving a lot then without the straps?

[@ChoccoMonsta]

No, seat itself was fine, it was more to get the wheelbase secure, hence I bought the straps

[@llChatOOOOOll]

I was really worrying about the stability of this FGT lite 😅 I had ordered that and it was out of stock and so I canceled it 😅 and got Next Level wheel stand 2.0

[@ChoccoMonsta]

That looks good, but I assume chair separate or added cost if you buy there’s. Once I strapped mine up, it’s very stable now

[@llChatOOOOOll]

@@ChoccoMonsta I already have a good gaming chair 😅 so it wasn’t a problem for me 😁

[@AndrewAffolter]

What length of bolt do you recommend for the pedal kit with the spacer? I think the instructions recommend 22mm?

[@ChoccoMonsta]

I went for M6 30mm, they were too long but did the job, you should be fine with 22mm

[@AndrewAffolter]

@@ChoccoMonsta Awesome! I ended up going with an M6 22mm bolt and it fit perfectly with no gap.

[@hiStograff]

Get the load cell… it’s a big game changer

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Thanks for heads up, I’ll look into it

[@liampardoe2877]

Yeh, just got it for mine. 8nm boost kit and load cell, deffo game changers

[@rekt4guud134]

Even at 6'3 i can't get used to having the steering this far out, tried it for a month and i just ain't doing it. Will get some more holes punched in.

[@ChoccoMonsta]

I was ok with the distance, and I'm 6'0

[@reviewforthetube6485]

This is why I went with the lite pro not the f-gt

[@cmorin522]

I wouldn’t be connecting to base of dd pro with hooks like that

[@ChoccoMonsta]

It’s fine, works really well

[@Gaming-Legends007]

Personally I wouldn’t of bothered, people are paying thousands of pounds for motion platforms……why eliminate the shake.😎 Nice vid though.👍

[@ChoccoMonsta]

Thanks, Yh, I hear what you’re saying, but the force feedback is enough for me, I can’t play too long as I feel like my shoulders have had a crazy gym session :) I just didn’t want the base plate moving around too much
