2DOF Motion Simulator with truck wiper motor playseat

Security

The ignition key, of course = :))
a plate on the side of the wheel holder:

and here is a “starter / emergency stop” key §

The pedal support


the right bracket must be folded down!

folding legs with a hammer

Dirlling of the pedals and support plate at the same time
Two-components glue bonding and 4 screws M5x16
take the opportunity to remove the unnecessary ballast which adds to the inertia of the system 🙂

The 4-point harness

In fact, it is a 6 points but it’s too much ! and not comfortable : 4 is fine.

welding a small bolt

the clip can be mounted and removed

Overview:

    conclusion: the harness is great!

– For the look 😎
– For immersion: it feels like being in a rally car!
– For sensations: I think we fight less against movements playseat, it is more inclusive

but it requires a keyboard support!

The bottom

To finish the structure, a wooden bottom on which I can put my electric stuff

Drilling diameter 4, threading M5 and screw

The rubber feet

Essential accessory: small rubber feet to absorb vibrations and provide stability on the ground.
Here are some hard plastic and adjustable feet

Width of the frame

I aimed a compact size to begin with
Edit: The first tests have shown that … it was not wide enough!
then I added + 11 cm on each side (it must go through the door ^ -) for a total of 68 cm

 

The Center of Gravity cdg


I determined it with “precision” with an assistant:
on a tubular steel rod, roll frame until you find the balance
with the driver in it!
(the rod has to be perpendicular to the plateform !)
