Mounting a Fanatec CS Handbrake 1.5 w/ Playseat Gearshift Holder Pro

[MisterRON]

This is driving me nuts. Been trying to finagle a way to attach a Fanatec CS Handbrake 1.5 to my Playseat, but have had no real luck. I'm currently using a Gearshift Holder PROplatformm with the Playseat for my TH8A, but finding a feasible way to attach my handbrake to it has been rather frustrating.

Anyone here have any luck with doing this? I also have the table clamp adapter with the rails for the handbrake, but still having bad luck. The attached picture is my last attempt, which is pretty fruitless as I have to literally reach for the handbrake, and the shifter I had to literally finagle. The other picture is the shift attached as it should be, thus leaving little if any wiggleroom for a shifter and the necessary clamp.

Have you tried changing the orientation of the handbrake handle.

Not really a solution for your current setup but an idea...

If you sold the tha8 shifter and got the fanatec shifter you can mount the ebrake to the side of the shifter

Kurupt makes a good suggestion. I recently upgraded from the THR8S (predecessor to TH8A) to the Fanatec Clubsport Shifter V 1.5 and its a night and day difference both as to quality, but also as to mounting options, particularly since you already have the Clubsport table clamp. Here are pictures of how I have my Clubsport shifter and handbrake mounted to the shifter mounted of my Obutto Ozone.
