    No problem.

    Do poke around the FAQ section, there is some really handy info there when you are building a sim, from ideas to solutions.

    I did what you said, not so big though, have to think about the weight! But as you maybe can see on the picture, I have also mounted a bolt and a rubber spacer further up on the back, into the seat.Now it's stiff!

    Nice progress @Ken50.

    What motors, control boards and PSUs do you plan to use?

    Or longer,yes.I know I will move the 0-point, but it will only be for a little while, and I'm sure the motors can take it. I don't mind people trying my rig.But not too long, though!

    I have a son and he's almost 2 meters high, and I'm (only) 188cm,and a stepdaughter (12y)who is begging me all the time. But if it will ruin my stiffness, it will be welded up at no time!!!

    Balance it for heavier driver, and make pedals and wheel adjustable. Keep the balance point in one place.
