Quick Answer
Use the SimXPro Universal shifter-button box-handbrake bracket to mount all three controls on your aluminium profile cockpit. It provides a tidy, consistent mount that keeps your shifting and braking reliable.
Why Use a Universal Bracket?
A dedicated bracket saves you from improvising with clamps or drilling into your rig. The SimXPro universal bracket is designed for aluminium profile cockpits, so it aligns with the slots and gives you a clean, stable mounting point.
Because it's universal, you can position it for either a shifter or handbrake, and even add a button box if your setup allows. This flexibility means you can adjust the location to suit your driving style without buying multiple mounts.
Know Your Cockpit's Profile
Before you start, check that your cockpit uses standard aluminium profile (like 40mm series). The bracket is designed for these profiles, so if your rig uses a different system, you may need additional adapters.
Also, consider the thickness of the profile and the available slots. You'll want to position the bracket where it can be securely fastened without interfering with other components.
Mounting Steps
- Position the bracket: Slide the bracket onto the aluminium profile at your desired height and reach. Loosely attach the bolts so you can still adjust. Common mistake: tightening too early. Keep it loose until you've verified the position.
- Attach the shifter or handbrake: Mount your shifter or handbrake onto the bracket using the provided hardware. If you're adding a button box, attach it to the same bracket if space allows, or use a separate mount. Check that the controls don't interfere with each other or with your legs during use.
- Adjust and tighten: Sit in your cockpit and test the reach and angle. Shift through gears and pull the handbrake to ensure comfortable movement. Once satisfied, tighten all bolts securely. Re-check tightness after a few sessions; vibration can loosen bolts.
