    Not really man, they're quite large so I don't think it'll be overly problematic.
    however if it were I would simply add my Ferrari wheel attachment (the f1 looking job) and use the non static paddles on it.
    But in all honesty I can not recommend this wheel enough, I'm only able to compare to a G27 but it really feels good in your hand and I have found no issues with it besides the static paddles which aren't too bad anyway!

    Sweet setup Mitch! Is it really better than Scarlett Johansson though? I think you got ripped...

    I don't know hahaha but I am loving it!!!
    Clevo (if I may call you that) the seat goes backwards and forwardss but that's about it haha.
    Great setup though, I'm really enjoying it and I quite like the size of the wheel.

    Looks good. If they're big enough to cover say 90 on each side of your wheel I thought static paddles would be good, especially for drifting.
    Always hard when you're chucking the wheel looking for a change and don't know which is up and down anymore.

    They are handy for that exact reason.
    You always know which is which!

    From a while back, I had to fix the base of my race seat... It broke and looked nasty!

    So I had a neighbour weld it up and it ended up looking like this:

    And now I also have a nice floor mat underneath the rig thanks to Mitch:

    Here is my attempt had to set something up that was a little more solid so that I could make good use of the cst pedals. Just made something simple to fit around my desk and it is a lot more comfortable for long races.

    Nice bas!

    Instead of relying on thd brackets for your whll, use M6 bolts. Just make sure they're long enough. Looking at the setup, 50mm should be sweet :)

    But looking at the frame work, and bearing housings on either end, plus the spring on the brake pedal it looks a bit more than just plates :/

    Neither am I mate just got my head round it at the moment with "Dragula" :p

    They are CST F1 pedals, only really good for the PC tho. http://www.cst-australia.com/ . Ive got an old knee injury and I cant really use the pedals properly they have a 60kg load cell which is pretty tough on long races. So I am sort of thinking about getting rid of them and going back to the old g27 pedals and maybe get another ps3 with the money

    I would like to hard mount the wheel but I use the space for uni work and study as well so it makes life easier when I can move the wheel and seat out of the way when I need to.

    That's a $1k of pedals :eek:

    And you run a G27 wheel?

    Why that wheel? lots of other PC guys run Fanatec or Thrustmaster.

    G27 is still well regarded, nothign really wrong with it on PC, seen heaps of setup vids on youtube where they use it, or sometimes it is at least the base for the wheel they're using.
