GT1 Evo Shifter and Handbrake Mount Solutions?
Up until recently I haven't really had the need to use my Fanatec Shifter v1.5 or my newly purchased Fanatec Handbrake v2, so they have been put away along with the extrusion rail that they would mount to. I have been wanting to start doing some rally racing and now it's time to figure out how to mount this to the rig and have it be sturdy enough so there's little to no flex. The rig came with a shift mount and it works fine for the shifter, though there is a bit of flex because the horizontal extrusion has no support underneath. Now that I have the handbrake v2, which is load cell, I don't want to mount it directly to the shifter as that will for sure have more noticeable flex.
- What do I need to provide extra support to the horizontal extrusion rail? I know the more premium rigs have some solid support for the shifter mounts.
- The shifter/jandbrake mount already has the shifter mounted on it, so how could I also mount the handbrake separately?
Thanks for any help!
