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

[stepheng]

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

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!

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

[megadwood]

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

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

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

[MiamiSunrise]

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.

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!

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

[DelBoy]

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.

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

[shaunfoster]

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

[gavancorrigan]

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

[TheRatlord]

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?

[o.b.r.cbadger]

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! 😉

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

[rikone]

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

[charzy]

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