Nice! Can you make some more pictures of the shifter mount unit please? I've just ordered a CSR shifter set, but I'll need a solution like yours. Thanks in advance
 
Thx

Oh, one more question: how does the shifter and the clutch feels like comparing to the G25/27 shifter? (if you've tried it of course:) )

Soundwise they're the same, both shifters make that *click* sound (I find Fanatec's click to be better);
Constructionwise, well - Logitech's shifter is metal/plastic whereas Fanatec's shifter is all plastic (but very hard, high grade plastic);
Resistance is much better on Fanatec and G25's shifter is very wobbly.

Clutch can't be compared, ClubSport pedals are amazing and are closer to real car than to G25/G27's pedals.

Sounds good 👍
I wonder if the CSR shifter will be a bit better (in sound and feel) besause of the steel parts. Well, I'll know it when I get it (if it arrives ever lol)
 
You made a pretty good job there, amazing what you can do, when you really want something :) congrats :) hope you enjoy the experience.
 
Looks good. But a rig is never "complete" ;)
You need to switch over to carriage bolts for your shifter mount. Will give a much cleaner look.
 
Congrats energizerrr!!!
Looks really good and sturdy (most important IMO). Here's to many hours of racing bliss! And other posters are correct, you will always be tweaking... At least I am always tweaking mine :)
Enjoy
 
That's so nice, I've been wanting something like that for months and its the only way I'll ever invest in a driving wheel, but I have no experience with fabrication. All I've got is a vague idea of what I'd like to have, but seeing yours gives me quite a few more ideas. The biggest thing I'm trying to fight is weight and size, not so much when its setup but I'd like to be able to take it apart easily and put it in a coat closet.

Where would you recommend looking to find someone in my area willing to do the fabrication work for me?
 
Well I guess looking at metalworks warehouses would do it as far as I know, but also you should try and look at maybe some bolt-on solutions which do just as well.
👍
