    hi
    i have slowly build my rig with a base of steel for the chair and the steering wheel and pedals. Now i don't know whats the best solution to put the motor and the rod together (also the motor and the chairs which should be the same problem). So what do all the diy rig builder there. I have the idea to take a ball bearing solution or is this to much?
    Any ideas (which are tested) would be very nice

    I think you can use car parts like ball joints from scrap yard it will be cheap and strong.
