    My Motion Simulator:
    6DOF
    I like the idea.

    But how is the hole spacing compensated for when you change the angle of the pedals and the seat? I see that you have arranged the drill holes in a radius, but relative to which hole? Or do the mountings for the seat and pedals have slotted holes?

    I would also arrange the cross connections vertically, not horizontally. You will hardly have any forces horizontally, but you will have forces vertically due to the steering wheel and the resulting transverse forces.

    Hello,

    For the angle/height setup :

    For the force, you can mount brackets under the Steering wheel plate support.
