    Hi guys. A total newbie here. I know nothing about wiring and electrician stuff, so this will be a patience task for me, really. I saw this video on D-Box yesterday (Video below) with two actuators moving around a Rseat RS1. It looked perfect for my usage, because in my apartment I do not have much space, and the footprint can't be much larger than it already is.. I asked the D-Box guys, and they told me that they made the Rseat RS1 clamp themselves, and that they do not sell these clamps.. I thought to myself that surely this must be possible with the SFX-100? And where could I ask to get answers? Here I guess! :)

    Mainly I'm looking in to getting only two actuators, but if possible I'll get four, if they could be clamped very narrow to the socket of my pedal-base of the Rseat RS1.. To make it fit with my RS1 aesthetics, I would rather not use an aluminium profile to hold the actuators, but if I must, I'd want them to be black, since my RS1 is black.. And then there is the bracket to clamp them on to RS1. Is anything of this even possible for me?

    Here's the D-Box video. It looks absolutely fantastic and would fit my environment perfectly:
