Re: wheel stands
Hi mate,
can't really help out,
but beware of the one on Pagnian's website "Next Level Racing" GTPRO. I did see one of these cockpit's in the flesh in a shop the other day, and to be honest it felt real cheap and nasty for the $600 asking price, the racing chair was small & tight and very uncomfortable, but the quality of the build just didn't match the price tag
Im getting a client to fabricate a stand for me, just got to bolt and wield it together, and Im going to use a typist chair for the seat.
Happy hunting

Re: wheel stands
yeah dont want a cockpit like those gtpro's, look annoying, the one's on simparts nz look ok'ish at least its local for its size
just been given a solid steel cockpit looks like a stockcar style, cant get it in the house by like 10mm, gonna set the gas torch to f'n thing just keep the bucky seat off it that means i now have 5 seats
contemplating getting dear ol dad on a arc welder to make a stand, so wether someone can do a good review or willing to measure a stand up so i can build one????
i cant find any in NZ to get measurements off

Re: wheel stands
I have one of the Fanatec Wheel Stands, and it is solid. The only problem I have with it its, the bolt that holds the upright from moving comes loose and the upright moves backwards and forwards, until I tighten it up again. I have googled it and that seems to be a common problem. It only comes loose if I drive things like Dirt 2 where the steering is a bit more aggressive, forza seems ok though.

Re: wheel stands
it is steel, it wieghs a lot. The only parts that are not steel are the 2 'planks' that the pedal box sits on.
I will go take some pics tonight

Re: wheel stands
Maybe I should just ask Fanatec for the design plans ...
I would have to pull it all apart to get that much detail. I am guessing you want to copy it. If you can wait until I get my GT2 I will take the measurements then.

Re: wheel stands
To give you some idea of the wieght, I have mine on a tile floor and it does not move at all while using the thing. I sit on my lounge, grab the vertical pole that holds the wheel, and slide it to me. Once I put my feet on the pedal box it does not move.

I own and highly recommend the Wheelstand Pro.
Feel free to ask me if you have any questions.
