So, here I am, about to press the BUY button on Fanatec website for a Fanatec shifter and I think "oh, what about mounting it?
Well, I looked at the additional mounting clamp. 40 euro? Really? for a mounting clamp? On top of the shifter price.
No, says I to myself. I'll see if I can find a cheaper option to mount it.
My existing Thrustmaster TH8a is mounted on a pole mount bracket which was originally intended for a display. It sits there nicely. I reckon the Fanatec would also mount on that same bracket if I had some sort of appropriate adaptor. A desk clamp device would be fine. Probably ideal, in fact. Just like the Fanatec mounting bracket. But could I get something which would fit the Fanatec shifter? I don't mind a bit of drilling metal plates if need be.
Any ideas, please?
If not, I suppose I'll just have to let Fanatec rip me off for their own bracket.
