Installation

The installation was relatively quick, around 3 hours, especially because the contents of the three boxes were prepared beforehand. The rig measures approximately 140 centimeters long and 60 centimeters wide, thanks to two primary long rails and two cross-sections. The seat comes in a separate box and can be pre-configured with either the RS6, RS9, or XL RS racing seat.

You can choose to install your own seat, just make sure it fits the standard dimensions. The installation process involves connecting everything with right-angled brackets, bolts, and t-nut plates. These slide into the rails and are tightened from the inside with a bolt. This is how all the parts are attached, including the seat, regardless of whether right-angled brackets are used.

Modifications (be aware)

You can slide the vertical profiles along the rails, held in place by side plates. However, aligning the components can be challenging and requires significant force. It's crucial to loosen the bolts sufficiently to prevent scratching the frame during movement. Pay meticulous attention during setup to ensure everything is in its intended position, check measurements carefully, and ensure proper leveling. Neglecting these details can make later adjustments difficult.

Mounting

Generally, everything can be repositioned, including the seat rails. The seat can move back and forth on its rails. There's a crossbar at the back that connects the sides, providing stability and a place to mount the seat rails. Additionally, an L-shaped bracket enhances adaptability and sturdiness for mounting accessories. Finally, there's a thick metal plate with pre-drilled holes and patterns for components like shifters and handbrakes.

Dimensions

Although the dimension are around 60x 140 cm I would still recommend adding more space to each side and round the total space to 2.00 m2 or 100 x 200 cm.
