Well hey guys i'm looking to get a racing cockpit for my new G27 wheel made by a friend more than capable of constructing and welding a frame together.I have seen many designs on the net but I would also be interested in building and testing a few designs.

Most importantly I drive Right Hand Drive or RHD as some may know it.

What i'm hoping is somebody here who has experience or is good with designing these sorts of setups can come up with some new cost efficient designs that are simple and not going to take up more than 2 x 4m. I want to have the transmission mounted in a more realistic position and look at a future E-Brake and inverted pedal installation. So any ideas or help on materials, actual design concepts etc. would be greatly appreciated.

I would also plan on installing a buttkicker, sub and some small speakers, the speakers I would get mounted in the seat I get though I have never seen a buttkicker setup so planning for these upgrades when I have little knowledge or experience with them is a little hard.

The setup I like the most after searching the net was definitely a Youtube user by the name of Chilicoke, I also liked the modifications he has done to his wheel and would look at these in the future too. Here is his page link: http://www.youtube.com/user/chilicoke

Thanks for reading.
 
Hi Zeroyon,

Welcome to GTPlanet. I think you will find that most people custom design their rigs for their own size & comfort. Not everyone might be willing to share their design dimensions that they worked very hard to get right. I would suggest getting a tape measure out to find out what sizing would be good/comfortable for you, and do some mock sketches on a sheet of paper or if you have a little more know how, with something like http://sketchup.google.com/. Not everyone will find the same setup comfortable, which is why there are so many different variations out there.

Then it’s simply a matter of working out the material you prefer to work with and getting in contact with your friends to put it together. If you have a look at most frames on the market, there isn’t really a lot to most of them from a design standpoint. If it’s all a little hard or time consuming, most frames on the market are relatively inexpensive nowadays.

Best of luck with the build, don’t forget to put up photos of your progress of the build!
