    Hey man, nice job!
    I'm building sim like yours, and I have only one pipe under the seat goes to steering wheel and pedals frame. When I've maked this choice on paper, in my mind i've thinked that was a good idea. Next i've tried to make a plate in aluminium (5mm) and i've fixed on it with bolts one tube (in aluminium too)... it was a disaster, because when i've tried to positioning my structure for pedals and steering wheel suspendend, my plate flexed :(

    Now I've decided to make it in iron and my blacksmith has welded this tube to my plate under my seat. I haven't tried it because i haven't finished my sim, but what are your sensation ? Do you think it's strong enough?

    Anyway, maybe with my thread all it's more clear:

    thank you

    @mirkobastianini

    Honesty was worried about it also because the tube length is 120cm , 70cm of that will be out of the rig to hold the paddles so before I fixed it I tested with different weights

    The hollow steel tube 25x50 is holding the paddles with no bending or twisting at all ,its a lot stronger than I expected

    I have one of these drivers, tried hooking everything up today and blew my arduino, put a voltmeter on the hv pwr in and fount it's connected to the +v on the input line, gvd on the hv and input match but that's fine.
