I’m not sure if these would be universal fit between brands but they’re only 70p here here

Merry Christmas too :D

EDIT beaten to it above!

thanks for the link.. I know you can get generic ones I just like the look of the next level racing ones as they have cut outs round the profile where the t-nuts slide in
 
I’m struggling to find them listed anywhere unfortunately, even the NLR website.

Maybe you could join their discord and ask or shoot them an email?
 
Think you will need to contact them direct for spares like that. Had a little dig around and appears that they dont really sell spare parts like that.
Have you tried speaking with OCUK they deal in NLR stuff they might have contacts or although unlikely they might have access to a stock of spares?

good idea they might even have some kicking about they would be willing to sell
 
Yeah have a great Christmas all! I'm sim-less over the next week and a bit, as I'm back up north of the border visiting family over the xmas/NYE period.
As sad as it is to admit, I'm missing it! I'll just have to make up for it in the New Year!

Time is something I have on my hands though, currently on the hunt for a cheap used bucket. The GT Omega XLRS seat just dosnt cut it with a proper set of pedals. Far too much movement in the upper portion of the seat. I feel like I have as much movement rearward as I do in pedal travel. Kinda think there is also some movement in the seat slider as well.
I mean I'm being a bit precious here, of course I can race just fine, but I was on a side mounted bucket with hard mounted to the frame on my last rig and I miss that solid feeling.

I been out of action for almost a month because of house renovations and now away for Xmas!
 
Happy New Year everyone.

My son currently has the Moza R5 bundle attached to a GT Omega Apex Stand, and I've just got him a clutch pedal too.

Thinking of getting him a shifter, and currently torn between the Moza HGP to match his current setup, and the SHH Newt, any opinions or other options please?
 
Sorry, I can't comment on a shifter to use, I only had the Fanatec Clubsport shifter as a sequential a few years ago.

This thread is dangerous I swear...

Just testing the effects before fitting. It turns out that the standard SiMagic mounts will also work on Heusinkveld pedals.

Cant really speak for the SHH shifter, they were very popular a few years ago, kinda fallen off the radar a bit recently, I considered ordering one couple of years back but lead times were horrendous.
The Moza HGP I dont own but have played with one. For the money its a decent shifter, its by no means outstanding in any way. However it just does the job.


I'm still looking at the Simagic DS-8X. Real car needs work though so sim rig upgrades are on the backburner for now.

The Simagic looks fantastic, but way out of my price range unfortunately.

Sorely tempted to get back into a racing rig... wish I never sold my fanatec :D

I feel that! Selling mine was a huge mistake, I must have spent the best part of 2.5k likely more over the last 4-5 months getting myself back into roughly the same place I was before I sold mine. Granted I previously had to get rid of mine due to space constraints.
 
anyone got a playseat challenge and / or Thrustmaster T300 ?

or another foldable seat ?

i would like some dimensions please if anyone could help me ?
Thanks
