    Looks awesome. Can you change which side the shifter mount attaches?

    Sure can mate, you get one shifter post in kit the other is optional for keyboard or mouse or both on one side, smart design for what its worth

    Looks great. I'd be interested to know if it has much flex in the wheel deck.

    Good news guys, Last night finally got it up and running and was very impressed it how much differance the driving input from the Fanatec gear compared to my old G27 Logitec.... its so smooth and the load cell is awesome:

    It has a little to be honest but nothing to really be a huge concern... as you would know Beau the Fanatec gear is rather heavy.

    :lol: Better get a harness, helmet, and fire suit too? Could be an earthquake to throw you out, and your wheel could short and start a fire.... ]:D 8o

    Immaculate photos as always Frank. ;)
