    Hi Guys

    BACKGROUND:
    Just getting back into sim racing after building my Scn5 seat mover 5-6 years ago.
    It was all botched together so rebuilding using 160x40mm like the track racer but longer to incorporate the Seat mover actuators.
    Ive had a extra SCn5 for years to do traction so now is the time.

    QUESTION
    Just wondering what ...
    1. bearing system is advised this days for the front swivel point
    2. Wheel for rear, and does anyone put a wheel under the seat also?
    3. what plates for the wheels to move

    NOTE: im using aluminium slot profile.
