    T-Nut install tip Insert an M8 T-Nut in the desired slot of the extrusion. Insert the T nut perpendicular, and with the help of a small allen key in your attire such as a 3mm, pry the T nut straight with the allen key through the hole. The t-nut will snap into place when in position.
  • Page 21: Corner Gusset Tip

    Corner gusset tip Installing a corner gusset to a flat surface or perpendicular to the extrusion is not possible with the locating tabs in place. Fear not, they are made to be broken off with the following method. Using a flathead screwdriver, slide the flathead under the small tab on the bottom, and pry out the tab.

    User Guide Pedal tray adjustment You can position the T-nut/screw assembly however high or low. Make sure to have your pedals already properly setup before placing the pedal tray! Tighten fully the 4 screws holding the pedal tray before use, you may want to verify a second time just to be sure.
  • Page 23: Entry Level Pedal Installation

    Entry level pedal installation Pedals such as the T3PA from Thrustmaster or the G29 pedals from Logitech cannot be installed from the top, fastened with t-nuts. You will need to use the included corner gussets and position the gussets and 1.5” extrusions of the pedal plate to line up with the bolt pattern.
  • Page 24: Wheel Deck Adjustment

    Wheel deck adjustment The standard wheel deck can be adjusted using the Up Post brackets. With your wheel installed, loosen 3 out of the 4 screws and place yourself in the rig. Slowly loosen the last screw until you feel the wheel deck moving. It will most probably drop with the weight of the wheel so be careful! You can then place the wheel according to your preference in height and angle and tighten when the position is satisfactory.
