Hello, Im dialing in my home made rig. And trying to get optimal measurements 1. Position of the pedals? Brake pedal centered on steering wheel ? 2. pedals set back. I measured my honda crv for reference 22"? Thats bottom of brake pedal across the floor paralell to the bottom of the steering wheel. I Also noticed the brake pedal is a few inches forward of the other pedals. Does that help at all ? 3. screen distance to steering wheel. Ive got 42" for a 55" screen with the steering wheel about 2-3 " above the bottom screen. These are probably weird references but im just starting out. This rig cost -$50 to build. Maybe you guys will say its your preferences but id just like a starting place. Most important part is screen to steering wheel or screen to eye distance. Thank you so much

(You should use paragraphs to group thoughtsquestions, it makes it easier to read)

I like woodwork and diy projects :D
There is no "this position is perfect for everyone", make it fit your needs: check with short and long races what's not exhausting/hurts the least.
For stability under braking (I assume you have the load cell kit): put that wood piece behind the brake pedal, the load cell can at 100% take like 60kg of force
 
Given it's a rig just for sim racing my recommendation would be to hard-mount the wheelbase rather than using the clamp. It will be a lot more solid.
