Anyone mounted a t500 to a playseat classic

[rabbitude]

I have one of the original playseat classics, I just decided on the t500rs and am wondering if anyone has paired the two. The pedal mount is my main concern. Thanks in advance..

The pedal mount on my playseat is quite differant. this thing is about 8 years old, it was designed to work with the DFP. I had to modify my g25 pedals to get them to fit. I did some measuring and I think the t500 pedals will barely fit, but I may have to make some very minor modifications.

He's talking about this.

It wouldn't look like it as the pedals might end up closer, and the t500 is very heavy therefore probably (well, looks like it) isnt unstable..

Yeah it was pretty unstable, Got this idea and did this mod to it. Now it is more stable than the evolution model and has a way more comfortable driving position. Im not crazy about the position of the pedals on the Evo. I had to saw a very small notch out of the bottom of my G25 pedals to get them to clear that bottom bar that connects to the seat. I think the T500rs pedals will clear.

I'm not a fan of the bar up the middle. You could do the same but put 2 bars going to the left/right and bend them towards the ground..

The pedal mount is annoying, I had to mount mine on a towel, tied to it.

Not ideal. I now have a Speedmaster, which is a world of difference.
