Wanted Any rig

George_Boast · Apr 6, 2020

Hey guys,

looking to purchase some sort of rig, I’m in the UK and have looked at gt1 evo, track racer etc ....

If you can sell me the seat also that would be a massive benefit.

Could source one yourself, they give you a BOM on the website, easy to get the shopping list

Hi, where in the UK are you.
Are you looking for a full setup or just the rig ?

build one yourself by sourcing your own aluminium profile, they list all the parts required on their website.
Or there’s tutorials on YouTube on how to build 8020 rigs very similar to the sim labs designs.
The benefits of sim lab is you get an all in one kit, that’s tried and tested and obviously works for a lot of people, but at the moment out of stock.
if you fancy a bit of a project spec one yourself and build it, it’s cheaper and you need to do a bit of work though

Talk to Rob King at digital-motorsports.com, he'll sort you out with a SimLab.............he had plenty of stock the last time I spoke to him.

I could share my rig specs with you, going to upload the video instructions to YT at some point too.
It's dead easy and at least I made a few mistakes on the way that you won't have to.

Yeah that would be cool! How much did it cost you?

I'll do a quick calculation for you below.

I managed to pick up a Sparco seat for like RM500, about 90 quid

The profile was quite cheap as I sourced it from a local supplier.
4080
1500X2pcs-RM240
420X3pcs-RM100.80
500X2pcs-RM80

4040
420X1pc-RM21
500X2pcs-RM50
250X2pcs-RM25
300X2pcs-RM30
200X2pcs-RM20

*Total-RM566.80*

Needed some extra profile and some 90 degree aluminium angle connectors

4080
2 x 600mm 4080-RM114
1 x 500mm 4080-RM47.50

4040
1 x 500mm 4040-RM34
1 x 420mm 4040-RM28.60

12 x slim L brackets 4040-RM84
TOTAL-RM308.10

4040 Angle BracketX16-RM112
4040X420MM-RM28.60
Nut+Screw(M5/M6)X2-RM6

Total-RM146.60

So far approx RM1500, (£300) for the bulk of the rig, just the 90 degree angle code brackets, t-slot nuts and bolts that I sourced from online retailers in China.
Will try and find them and advise cost shortly

Hi George I managed to build one myself so its pretty easy, simracingcorner has some yt videos showing you how to design it.

Only thing is you might struggle getting the profiles with the current situation
