    Looks good man, the only thing id suggest is making a steel frame/supports under that motor plate. As it will flex like a muthaf...ker under motor power

    weld up something in the same size steel as you have now. Do not just the back, but under the entire area under those motors at the front and sides as well

    In addition to @bsft's suggestion you could run a bar between the motors, which helps make them part of the structural design and adds a lot of rigidity.

    a great job I really like. I also have taken my simulator reference the same original but instead of moving the seat I mounted engines platafoma front so the entire move.
    it seems to me more real as the car engine is front and forces makes front. in my thinking. congratulations for your very professional work.

    My monitors are 24" and old so i am planning on buying new monitors maybe 35" 144Hz.

    I am using 1-1/2" by 3" t-slotted alluminum with 1" locking pivot.

    I would rather someone else also verify this, the 145mm is close but with the wheels shaft and my bad eyes could be out a little.

    The total length of the arms are 61 inches, left and right arms are 15 inches, Center is 27 3/4 inches, keep in mind that the left and right arms monitor bracket it extend to the center of the monitor, i also can adjust the location of the bracket.

    Best,
    Milton
