Fanatec DD mounting dimensions

Paul Mullins · Feb 9, 2020

Hi Guys

I'm wondering if someone with a Fanatec DD1/2 Podium wheel base could confirm the dimensions for the front mounting bolt holes are 78.40mm from centre to centre and M6 bolt size.

I thought that the only way to attach the Fanatec DD wheel bases was on the side with 2 x 8 mm bolts.

I don't think the front holes are designed to support more than a button box.

That isnt what mine shows...

57.9mm. I reckon it is 58 actually.

Many thanks norbs..!!

Just an FYI, you can actually find the centre line of the holes by measuring the inside diameter of the hole and zeroing the calipers. You then measure between the outer walls of each hole and boom

Yeah you are right RC.. I'm designing a custom box that I want to be mountable on both the Mige motor and the Fanatec units.

I did know that, I was struggling with a camera in one hand and the calipers in the other. It got the message across I hope

Hi guys,

With Fanatec front mounting bolt holes is clear. But what about the side mounting holes? Could some Fanatec DD2 owner check the dimensions between side holes centres, please?
I am attaching the picture what I mean. I marked it in red.

Thank you in advance.

If anyone else needs this, I've got it at 55.87mm. I downloaded the PDF from Fanatec's website and opened it in Illustrator. It's drawn to scale and seems accurate from physically measuring it. Not sure why they've not used a round number for this though.
