    This is something I made several months ago, that time I learnt how to use simhub so I made this to mount the vibrator on my pedals.

    The motor was bought on line for about 1usd each, its a standard 370 DC 12V motor

    the out diameter of the motor is 24.2mm, similar to the 3/4 water pipes,
    So I bought the holder for 25mm water pipe as a mount, and they fit quite well.

    Next instead of drilling holes on the pedal lever, I decided to design a new pedal shim to bolt the motor on.
    The first design was almost identical to the original(black) but added with a M6 mount.

    Later before I made another one for gas pedal, I made some modifications:
    1. weight reduction
    2.harness guide
    I forgot to take pictures before I assembly them, this is the model image, of course I will upload the stl file later in this tread.

    This is the final product.
