Fourthstreet’s DIY Sim Racing Cockpit

[fourthstreet]

Hello! The other day I was searching DIY cockpit's in hopes to land on a plan. I came across Wayside's DIY cockpit which inspired me to take the plunge into 9 hours(so far) of worthwhile but what seems like endless work. It will come to a head within the next 24 hours though!

I made some adjustments to the steering wheel arms/base because I felt Wayside's design had a couple of weak connection points. I also used a mixture of 2x6's and 2x4's instead of just 2x4's to increase the rigidity. I changed the design of the shifter mount which did not jeopardize the stability but allowed for less material. Lastly, my DIY monitor mount is not attached to the rig so, it is easily maneuverable(pics soon).

Check it out! I jumped the gun to post this so I could share with all of you! When I'm 100% finished I'll post dimensions, and final pics.

HARDWARE!!! Logitech G29 pedals/wheel amd shifter and a GT Omega R6 seat to keep me planted! My youngest was more eager than I was! No time wasted

After sanding this is where I left off last night! Tonight we install the floor for the pedals, drill a hole in the wheel table for cord management, and install adjustable feet to help with any leveling needed. Then, it's headed to PAINT!

Painting is finished!!! I installed a couple brackets to eliminate any side to side movement.

Securing the seat and adding some back lighting to the monitor.

15 hours later... Drumrolllllllllllll! Finished. Cable management could use some work but other than that I’m psyched. It is a ROCK. Doesn’t flex, or bend.

Feel free to comment or message me with any questions regarding the build!!! I’ll try to post dimensions of everything within the next few days.
