Barry can you do a Christmas special and take us on a tour of your Garage? We'd like that.

Barry is a national "sim racer" treasure. Thanks Barry for being the father many of us didn't have :)

I bought this piece since day 1! I have 4 TM rims, I am so happy with the QR system made by Peter

I do appreciate just how in depth your reviews are. I am glad that I found your channel.
Have a great day! o7

Thanks Barry and Peter for this! Will help a lot of people, including me.

I just bought the STL files from Peter A, the models looks great in Cura. Just an FYI if you are going to print your own parts, they are all around 7 hour prints. For my set up I will print the base, F1 wheel, and standard wheel. Looking at about 30 hours of printing. If you buy them pre-printed from Karpal Sim, I want people to understand the cost.

Awesome work, can’t wait to get these up and running!!!!

You good Sir have the most informative vids on youtube. As I’m so new to the community, I really appriciate the work on these videos, Easy to follow. Wish I had the opportunity to race you sometime. Keep it up. Much love from Sweden.

Barry's review of these very ingenious quick releases for the TM based convinced me that I wanted them. So I went to Peter's ebay page for these items. Not surprised, his current stock at the time was pretty light. So I contacted Peter via email.
Through that, I got on a email list for his next run.
Long story short, I got a base adapter and two for my TM wheels (599 evo with a Momo Mod 31 custom drilled by Ricmotech / TSPC open wheel)
Installation (including custom fitment) was easy. Basically followed both Barry's and Peter's videos. 
Only issue I encountered was the length of the M4 bolts which connect the Wheel QR Adapter was a bit short. 
This was due to my custom drilled Momo Mod 31 wheel which I think is a couple mm's thicker than the stock 599 evo TM wheel.
I measured them as about 45 mm.  Got 50 mm length bolts and it now solidly assembled.
Tested all the buttons and paddles and everything works!  Removal and re-installation with the new QR is great! 
This is my favorite mod for my TM equipment! Thank you Peter for making these and Barry for reviewing them!

I wish thrustmaster would just make an official quick release system that just connects to the existing connections.

Long waited upgrade for Thrustmaster Wheels

[marcusbunce]

I use a PC case thumb screw to tighten the collar lock on wheel base, , it gives a better grip to hand tighten my wheels on...
Not once has a rim loosened ;;; had TS-PC since pre order, , love it, , casual league every Sunday
I recon the collar would split in wondered if anyone had that issue 🤔
Great videos 👁👁

[Sithhy]

Will definitely be more useful for the upcoming Thrustmaster direct drive wheelbase

I would love for you to do beginners, intermediate, and professional setup recommendations for a racing sim setup for PC gaming/racing. Would love you see what you would recommend and why.

I use PLA to make 3d printed QR1 for my CSL DD 8nm.
Lots of infill, lots of walls, low resolution and a good filament, and you're set!
I use the SRM mini emulator and a 350mm wheel, and added my own 8mm bearings and 3x pen springs.

Not bad for a free QR

[bobbychilds]

This is now being added to my wish list

[MrSrimera]

It leaves the plug on the back of the wheel exposed, so you got to be sure not to damage it when it's lying around.

[mandel]

Screws should always be threaded in carefully counter clockwise until you feel that it seats in the old threads so you dont carve new threads in the plastic. This teqnice should also be used on metal to increse its lifespan.

[ShawnT_JZ]

i personally use a cnc machines adapter made by Ripp. along with a VMS Racing quick release, (identical to slim NRG QR), iv had zero issues, on the side of 3dprinted parts, iv been through 2 adapters now, by 2 different sellers, use metal no 3d printed stuff to hold your wheels

[simonedesantis]

beautiful video pity that the product on ebay is no longer available

[vinzvega]

We love you barry. Just to let you know :D
