Karl two more aluminum profiles for a cross base from wheel uprights to the monitor stand will cure that shake easy

Apparently you need to buy an expensive, specialist tool to build one of these. My wife said it's something called a divorce.

I'm looking forward to a dirt 2 video and perhaps an Assetto Corsa vid from your new setup.

clicked the video and the first thing that grabbed my attention are those old jamo speakers, i have a pair of 1987 jamo dynamic D5E on my main system and d2e with a subwoofer on my 1980's pioneer seperates system. cracking old speakers!

Nice work. You could run some profile from your steering wheel uprights to the monitor uprights to make it that bit stiffer.

Put a cross bracing between both uprights to strengthen up the TV monitor. 1 or 2 per side

"on the piss".....its the phrases like that why I enjoy the channel so much 😂

Great video Karl, been loving all the sim racing stuff ever since you convinced me to get the G920! Keep it up! :)

One thing that works well with your cockpit being a silver pre-production unit is its silver color and the add-ons like you are doing is it is much more likely to be able to source silver profile and brackets for accessories than to source those parts in black to match the production chassis rigs. Actually I wish they offered the production model in silver as well as black. Considering ordering one just trying to talk myself into justify spending the dollars. Granted you could always prime and paint the channel and brackets but adds more time, cost and effort. I also agree with the other posters about running a horizontal brace to the wheelstand to eliminate shake and make the mount much more secure and sturdier. I just found your channel and some great down to earth videos!

Karl thank you for the videos you do, I just found this channel and the content here is top notch especially for what I'm looking into now.

Looking good mate, I haven't got that stage, still using a GT Ultimate + VR. Those plasmas do have reasonably reflective surface, It'll be interesting to see how much vibration translates from the motion platform/cockpit to the monitor.

You should put the video of Katie giving you the reach-around on your Patreon, Karl.

nice! why don't you just buy some extra legs for the stand, so it's on the floor instead on the rig. I think it's better that way 1, no wobble from the rig. 2, you can freely adjust the distance of the monitor .

Hello, do you have a video on how to make an aluminum profile cockpit with all the measurements including the screws?

Another top notch idea, and video Karl 👍🏻 Would you have a list of all the components that you ordered, sizes etc that you could share with us? I’ll be buying the Prime rig soon, and this looks like a great solution to the issue of a monitor stand not being currently available from GT Omega. How long before they use your design and start selling them? Make sure you get your commission! 😉

Ha...he said reach around! Sorry, had to do it mate. Great vid!

Awesome how to karl I've just built my own off your previous vid definitely giving this a go would 40/120 work on the uprights

A TV is not suitable for this proximity, your best bet is to replace your wheel deck uprights with an extra length pair and invest in a good 32” curved, or triples if your rocking a pc. The stupidly large uprights will accommodate /support a monitor and wheel and be rigid enough, especially if you brace your uprights instead of relying on one contact point

Nice one Karl.

huh i make 3d printers out of these things. for the frame ofc I really dig extrusions

No wonder you have arms like tree trunks when you're lifting a plasma. I remember my dad bought a 32" Sony widescreen back when that was considered to be a large TV and it took two of us to lift it!

Karl no one as got a review of the sim hound monitor stand,any chance pal?,cheers Neil

The beauty of the aluminium profile is that you can do this kind of stuff with it. With regards to the wobble wouldn't a second set of brackets at the bottom of the stand help?

Did you see that the company that you got the aluminium profile from now make their own range of sim rigs? I've just bought an GT Omega Prime after watching your videos, but it's interesting to find another option out there that I haven't seen in any reviews.

Hi Karl Wonder if you could help Got Track Racer TR160 I want to get the Triple Monitor Stand to go with my cockpit My problem is I have 3x55” tv’s currently on the Next Level Racing Monitor Stand I want to put on the track racer triple stands Gonna order the extra legs to support the weight I’m Struggling as I’m not sure what size Cross member Arms fo get Do I get 1x55” or 3x55” I’m sure the outer 2 don’t need to be 55” Please can you HELP Also where would I be able to order them from I’m based in UK THX in advance

a tad off topic Karl , been enjoying Project cars 2 and dirt 2 and i have assetto corsa but not set up up yet..i am using the quest 2, are there any newer driving/ racing games / sims that you recommend ? i like the 70s and 80s cars popular in the UK at the time, escorts, fiesta BMW E30 etc..( im an old fart) also can you play forza horizon 4 in VR via VorpX ? cheers Rob :O)

Is your Rig a DIY? Can you post the sizes of aluminums and materials you used for that? Thanks mate

Looks like the dof m2 platform fits in there perfect 👍?

Hi Karl, where did you get your Aluminium Profile from?? Im in the UK and looking somewhere to order from. Thanks

Hi what type of wheel are u using under your aluminium rig? Is it lockable and strong enough to support?

Hi Karl. I know it is an older video but i need to ask how long are the side aly profiles on your DIY build who are building the square frame? They look shorter than 1 meter. I planning one by my own and dont have a seat yet but want to leave enough space left to add one later on. So i would be happy if you can give me that measure :)

How do I apply the Discount Code in the UK please Karl? Link only goes to US.

Karl I have just got same rig and going to buy same mount as can't wait for GT Omega. Did you use 40/40 for pieces? Are they classed as t slot as so many types?

Hi Karl, you mentioned your digital dashboard reader and I’ve noticed it, in other vids from you. Where can I get 1 and is it easy to set up?

I think you need bigger speakers

looks tidy

Wish I was single and surrounded by man toys instead of married to an awesome wife with beautiful twins.

u r nuts man. LIke! hahaha
