Red tape holding back the button wires

Not the best labeling job, but it will do for now

To accommodate the DSD sequential shifter I turned the shifter mount upright and drilled an extra hole, simple as that.

Yes,I already saw that they cost about 200euro!
I'm planning to upgrade my G27 with the t500rs soon but now I have to add 2BKG2 to my cockpit
However keep it going with this great looking cockpit:tup:

I used a dymo letratag label maker

There's been a few new additions to my rig........and many more to come

SRH T500RS static SLI-PRO mount courtesy of my good friend readyfe.......cheers for helping me out mate:tup:

A little DIY tower carriage/stand I whipped up on the weekend

Arcticulating keyboard mount from fasttracksims.com......I recommend this mount & Mark is really good to deal with.

And finally I picked up a Logitech Z-5500 5.1 setup, I have them temporarily mounted to monitor stand with cable ties and with velcro for the L & R rear speakers on seat.... awesome set of speakers!

please excuse the dust on my pc it needs a good clean (so does my camera lense by the looks of it)

Nice work, a very complete cockpit..!

 

[CLIFFO_83]

Nice work, a very complete cockpit..!

Cheers mate.....she's far from complete, maybe one day when I have D-BOX motion it will be complete

 

[CLIFFO_83]

I decided to paint the buttons and center cap on my T500 GT wheel....

Never was a fan of the GT logo and PS3 buttons......

looks much better I think..

 

[wajdi1977]

what about the Sparco steering wheel?

 

[CLIFFO_83]

what about the Sparco steering wheel?

I still have it.... I use the P310 for road racing and GT wheel for rally etc.... Until I get a deep dish rally style wheel...

My Sam Maxwell Sparco P310 wheel plate has arrived.....

I went for a yellow,blue & red themed button layout, with a total of 7 buttons, 1 toggle switch & 2 encoder switches.

No USB cords to worry about as it is plug n play!!! plugs straight into T500 base like the GT wheel does....

I'm very happy with Sam's service and craftsmanship and recommend him to fellow sim racers 👍

Some pics for you all.....

 

[readyfe]

Plug and play, no wires - how good is that..!
Looks awesome mate..!!!

Really happy with it

Awesome setup, that Sam Maxwell Sparco P310 wheel plate is great.

Considering a new heavier duty wheel than what I currently have.

This really adds appeal to the T500 route.

its pricey, but you get what you pay for.

The rig and wheel must be pure joy.

The wheel and plate is well worth the money and both are top quality hardware....

Really nice setup.

Thanks mate

Cheers mate!!

Really happy with it

Scott very interested in your setup and trying to choose between the sparco & momo.

Along with you sli-pro setup, could Sams Paddle on the custom t500 plate work with the SLI-Pro ? Is there enough room?


Cheers

I run the same as Chad, the paddles fit but your knuckles wont.

You'll need to think of a different mounting position for the SLI-Pro if you want paddles, however the SRH mount is the only one height adjustable for the F1 wheel also.

Hope this helps.

If you want paddles, like Fred said you will have to go another route with SLI-PRO mount, If I were you I'd stick with the static paddles or look at getting a sequential shifter such as a DSD shifter

My D.I.Y G27 E-Brake mod

that handle on the ebrake will it fit the DSD? also where to buy if it does looks nice

It's a universal fitting knob which has no thread insert, it has 3 allen screws to attach it to shaft. It would fit a DSD shaft, you would how ever damage the thread, so you should try to find a knob with a thread insert to match the DSD shifter shaft....

I purchased the knob from ebay, there are thousands to choose from....

Thanks for your interest 👍

Just finished modding my GT Omega triple stand, I purchased 2x Single monitor wall mounts, modified them and attached them to the triple stand so I could achieve the angles I desire with monitors.....

here's some pics....
