Finally finally, got around to finishing off my racing cockpit, purely inspired by the original designs in this thread.

Still has to have better mounts for pedals, and the steering wheel is too high and not very well mounted.

BUT

it works pretty well, and I can envisage hours of fun.

Thanks to OP for posting designs so people like me can make bad copies

nice work piraterob.
I'm figuring out which way to go currently with a 3d monitor, nvidia or amd.
Would love to try a 3 x monitor setup, but cant really justify it, will try 3d instead as I play alot of FPS's as well.
I have some other modifications I might try on my rig shortly also.
goodluck.

Wow.

Id considered the potential lack of strength of the PVC, but thinking back 20 years to how it never gave way when subjected to ill fitting oranges and deoderant propellants...well, Im convinced! (...*click* THWOOOMP)

Id love to give this a go for the garage.
