Quick Answer
To set up a universal inverted pedal mount for load cell pedals, verify compatibility with your pedal set and rig, then mount the plate securely, adjust pedal angles, and connect the pedals, checking for clearance and stability at each step.
Why Invert Your Pedals?
Inverting your pedals can improve heel-toe braking and make pedal feel more like a road car. However, not all pedal sets are designed to work upside down, especially hydraulic models that may need custom installation. Check with your pedal manufacturer before committing to an inverted setup.
Compatibility Considerations
Most load cell and standard pedals work with a universal inverted mount, but hydraulic pedals often require extra hoses or brackets. Also, ensure your rig uses aluminum profile/extrusion, as the mount is designed for that standard. If your rig is not extrusion-based, you may need an adapter plate.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Check Pedal and Rig Compatibility: Verify that your pedal set is compatible with inverted mounting. For hydraulic pedals, contact the manufacturer about additional installation requirements. Confirm your rig uses aluminum profile/extrusion; if not, you'll need an adapter. If your pedals aren't meant for inversion, you may need a different mount or custom setup.
- Mount the Inverted Pedal Plate: Attach the universal inverted pedal mount to your rig's pedal plate area using the provided T-nuts and bolts. Ensure the plate is level and securely fastened to the extrusion channels. Tighten bolts to the manufacturer's torque spec. Check that the plate is level and doesn't interfere with your seat or footwell clearance.
- Install the Pedals on the Inverted Plate: Position your load cell pedals on the inverted plate, aligning the bolt holes. Use the included hardware to secure each pedal. Adjust the pedal faces to your preferred angle and distance, then tighten all fasteners. Test pedal travel and make sure the load cell cable isn't pinched or stressed.
- Connect and Test the Pedals: Plug in the pedals to your sim system and open the control panel. Calibrate the load cell and verify that the brake and throttle register correctly. Press each pedal firmly to ensure there's no flex or movement in the mount. If you feel flex, re-tighten all bolts and consider adding a support bracket.
