starting budget 2dof to 3dof racing sim

So far i went to the local scrap yard and bought as much 1 1/4" steel tubing they had. It was a total of 17 bux worth maybe 7 pieces 60 inches each. I managed to put something together over the last couple days, figured i would share my build.

Here is the universal i made from a drive shaft i took both ends and just put them together getting rid of the center of driveshaft

Here is the base i build out of a round tube frame and some of the square tubing i bought. I used angle iron so i can adjust universal forward and back as needed.

Here is a picture of my seat it is from a 2008 hhr. I built a box under it and put 3 of the square tubes together to start my frame for the upper section.

It is together now enough to race again Im using 2x4 blocks to hold seat still until i get motors and everything hooked up. Only thing missing in that picture is the actual pad for the shifter and ebrake. I will take pictures of that as well. Mounts are built for motor i just have to add them and attach rods they will mount right under the front of seat. I purchased 2 24v 20amp power supplys on amazon. I have a 12v 20amp power supply for power seat as well.

here is cad drawing i came up with for monitor stand and the stand put together from 6 scrap 8 ft 2x4's

didnt fix gaps yet they are really close just have to figure out my angles first they are around 120 degrees now monitors are lg 32" 32gn600-b almost no bezel the mounts i used were from harbor freight they were 10 dollars a piece on sale

made a set of gears to run from motor to a homemade hall effect sensor figured id throw up the drawing for you guys and get to printing
