Set both uprights at the same position. 4
Per bolt, slide a T-nut into the groove, then turn the bolt in with the hex key. Hand-tight for now.
Start with the uprights about 15 cm from the front. You can fine-tune this later.

Actions
1
Stand the seat profile upright between the base profiles, about 25 cm from the rear. 2
One black corner bracket per side. Per bolt: a T-nut into the groove, then turn the bolt in with the hex key. The ends of the seat profile are closed by the base profiles, so its T-nuts go in from the front: tilted on their side, a quarter turn over their length until they click, then slide them under the hole. 3
Fit the accessory profile to the left or right upright with two black corner brackets, the same way. 4
Set the accessory height.
Where the seat profile ends up depends on your seat. You can slide it later.

You mount them in step 8. Your choice shows on the deck from there on.
Actions
1
Mount the left side plate with five bolts. Per bolt: slide a T-nut into the groove, then turn the bolt in with the hex key. 2
Mount the right side plate the same way, at the same height and angle. 3
Place both 40×40 pedal profiles between the side plates. 4
Turn one bolt through the side slot into each tapped end. No T-nuts here. 5
Fit the 40×80 pedal profile, two bolts per end. 6
Leave the spacing for now. In step 8 you move the profiles to fit your pedals.
You mount your pedals in step 8. The bolts for them depend on your pedal brand and model.

Wheel plate
The wheel plate sits between the uprights. Its folded sides bolt to the inside of the uprights, the front hangs over the frontwing.

Actions
1
Place the wheel plate between the uprights, folded sides against the inside. 2
Four bolts through the slots, two per side. Per bolt: slide a T-nut down the inner groove, then turn the bolt in with the hex key. 3
Set the height and check that left and right are level.
The bolts for your wheelbase depend on the wheelbase and are not included. Step 8 shows one in place, with the angle range.

Pedals and wheelbase
Three ways to fix your pedals to the pedal deck. Pick the one that matches your pedal set. Then set your wheelbase on the wheel plate and find your angle.
Your pedals
Pedal set with baseplate
Bottom-mounted pedals
Loose pedals
M8 T-nuts in the front 40×40 and the front groove of the 40×80, M8×16 down through the outer corners of the baseplate, clear of the pedals. The middle 40×40 supports the plate; the rear groove of the 40×80 stays free.
For pedal sets you bolt into from below (Thrustmaster T-LCM shown, at its real size). The front 40×40 stays fully forward, the 40×80 supports the middle and the rear 40×40 sits under the back of the pedal set. Four 40×40 corner brackets on the outside of both 40×40 profiles, guide noses clipped off, give a flat tab under each of the 4 outer holes: bolt up from below with a washer.
Per pedal 4 × M6×12 through the 4 corner holes into M6 T-nuts: front holes in the front 40×40, rear holes in the front groove of the 40×80. The 60 mm of the 40×80 behind them and the rear 40×40 pushed against it form your heel rest.

Actions

1
Check your bolts and T-nuts: thread (M8, M6 or sometimes M5) and length must match your pedal set. 2
Loosen the profile end bolts and push the front 40×40 to the front of its slots. Slide the middle 40×40 about 10 cm forward, then the 40×80 about 4 cm forward, until its front groove sits under the rear corners of the baseplate. Its rear groove stays free. Tighten again. 3
Put two M8 T-nuts in the front 40×40 and two in the front groove of the 40×80, under the outer corners of the baseplate. Per T-nut: tilt it on its side into the top groove, give it a quarter turn over its length until it clicks, then slide it under the corner. 4
Set the pedal set on the deck, the outer corners of the baseplate over the T-nuts. Is the baseplate a little off? Nudge it until it fits. 5
Turn 4 × M8×16 down through the outer corners of the baseplate into the T-nuts with the hex key, one at a time, clear of the pedals. 6
Set your wheelbase on the wheel plate. 7
Bolt it on from below: M6×12 up through the wheel plate, one at a time. 8
Set your angle: the wheel plate pivots on its rear bolts, its front resting on the frontwing. Tilt it up to about 12° up or down and slide the frontwing along, or move the whole plate a little down or up, never above the top of the uprights. Tighten again.

Check your bolts and T-nuts: thread (M8, M6 or sometimes M5) and length must match your pedal set. 2
Loosen the profile end bolts and push the front 40×40 to the front of its slots. Swap the 40×80 and the rear 40×40: the 40×80 goes into the middle, the rear 40×40 to the seat side. Tighten again. 3
Clip off every guide nose with the flat screwdriver, one at a time: the nose on top of the tab and the noses on the upright leg. Eight in total; the noses drop off. 4
Fit the four corner brackets on the outside of the 40×40 profiles, tab on top and flush with the profile top: two on the front of the front 40×40, two on the rear of the rear 40×40. Each tab sits under an outer hole and the rear tabs do not stick out behind the pedal set. The upright leg lies flat against the profile, no nose in the groove. Per bracket: a T-nut into the groove behind the leg, tilted on its side and given a quarter turn over its length until it clicks, then an M8×16 through the upright leg. 5
Set the pedal set on the deck. The middle hole is not used: the 40×80 supports the middle. 6
From below, bolt up through each tab into the pedal set, one at a time. Add a washer whenever the bolt is smaller than M8. 7
Set your wheelbase on the wheel plate. 8
Bolt it on from below: M6×12 up through the wheel plate, one at a time. 9
Set your angle: the wheel plate pivots on its rear bolts, its front resting on the frontwing. Tilt it up to about 12° up or down and slide the frontwing along, or move the whole plate a little down or up, never above the top of the uprights. Tighten again.

Loosen the profile end bolts and push the front 40×40 to the front of its slots. Swap the 40×80 and the rear 40×40: the 40×80 goes into the middle with its front groove under the rear pedal holes, the rear 40×40 right up against it at the seat side. Tighten again. 3
Put 8 × M6 T-nuts in the top grooves: per pedal two in the front 40×40 and two in the front groove of the 40×80. Per T-nut: tilt it on its side into the groove, give it a quarter turn over its length until it clicks, then slide it under the hole. 4
Set the brake and throttle pedal on the deck, their holes over the T-nuts. 5
Bolt each pedal down with 4 × M6×12, one at a time. The back 60 mm of the 40×80 and the rear 40×40 against it form your heel rest. 6
Set your wheelbase on the wheel plate. 7
Bolt it on from below: M6×12 up through the wheel plate, one at a time. 8
Set your angle: the wheel plate pivots on its rear bolts, its front resting on the frontwing. Tilt it up to about 12° up or down and slide the frontwing along, or move the whole plate a little down or up, never above the top of the uprights. Tighten again.
Bolts, threads and types are brand-specific (M8, M6 or sometimes M5, and the length). They often come with your pedals, but check this before you start, and check that you have T-nuts in the matching size: we sell M4 to M8 T-nuts in our webshop. Some sets need longer bolts or corner brackets; there are too many brands and types for us to include every bolt. The pedal deck is flexible: swap the profiles to fit your pedals.
Mounting hardware for your wheelbase is not included either: wheelbases mount in too many different ways. The Fanatec CSL DD with M6×12 from below is shown for illustration only.
Almost racing.
