Hi everyone,
I just got back into this ludicrous hobby
you can see my intro post here (https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/thre...tm-t300-rs-gt-questions.388653/#post-12800929) As I stated in that post my intention was to purchase an Omega Apex wheel stand at the end of the month but in the meantime I have it mounted to this tv stand (see attached) This is an older stand and was meant for large CRT tv's so it's built pretty solid. And what I have noticed is that it IS very solid and would probably work well as a permanent solution, it's easy enough to slide out from the spare room for use. And it has convenient side shelving to hold my water or adult beverage 
What I am looking for is any suggestion as to how to hard mount my wheel to it. Ideally using all three mounting points. I have had thoughts of some sort of T-shaped metal piece bolted up underneath or something. And maybe another piece of wood on top since as you can see the front of the top piece has a curve to it (and I am anal about having everything centered)
The other part is how to attach the pedals? The back of the stand is just some nailed on semi-rigid cardboard material, which I have reinforced with a few extra nails for the time being. I also have placed a piece of PVC pipe behind the pedals to give them a bit of rake but obviously, this is just a temporary solution.
Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
PS- If you use a wheel stand type arrangement, what kind of chair are you using?
