Assembly Guide for Sim Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2

Quick guide from the manual

The Sim Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 is designed to provide a rigid and adjustable mounting solution for pedals on various Sim-Lab cockpits. The assembly process is best performed upside down initially to facilitate easier pedal mounting. Due to the weight of the unit once pedals are installed, it is highly recommended to have two people perform the final installation onto the cockpit.

Before you start

Before beginning the assembly, ensure you have all the necessary components by checking the bill of materials on page 14. You will need the following tools:

• 5/6mm Hex wrench
• 13mm wrench
• Tape measure

Compatibility: This rack is compatible with Sim-Lab cockpits including the GT1 EVO, GT1 PRO, P1X Pro, and is particularly optimized for the P1X ULTIMATE.

Tip: If you forget to install a slot-nut, you can insert it directly into the slot from the side. Use a smaller hex wrench to help wiggle it into the correct position.

Assembly instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your pedal rack:

1. Base Assembly: Connect the 480mm profiles (A1) using the pivot plates (A3) and the provided M8x16 bolts and washers.
2. Upright Installation: Attach the Upright Left (A4) and Upright Right (A5) to the base. It is recommended to build this section upside down for easier access. Use M8x25 bolts, cap-washers, and lock-nuts.
3. Pedal Mounting: Mount your pedals to the rack. Ensure the pedals are leaning forward and the pedal face is inverted as required.
4. Crossbar Installation: Install the 490mm crossbar (A2) using M8x16 bolts and cap-washers. Warning: Ensure that no moving parts of your pedals will interfere with the crossbar during operation.
5. Heel Rest: Attach the heel rest (A6) using M6x16 bolts and washers. The heel rest can be installed upside down if you require lower positioning.

Pedal slider installation

If you are using a pedal slider, prepare the base using the instructions on page 11. Follow the specific 'Pedal Slider Baseplate' manual for the slider hardware installation, then return to page 4 of this manual to complete the upright assembly.
