Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 Assembly Guide

Quick guide from the manual

The Sim-Lab Inverted Pedal Rack V2 is designed to allow for an inverted pedal setup on various Sim-Lab cockpits. Due to the weight of the assembly once pedals are mounted, it is highly recommended to perform the installation onto the cockpit as a 2-person job. Building the rack upside down is recommended to make mounting the pedals significantly easier.

Tools and preparation

Before beginning the assembly, ensure you have the following tools available:

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

Check the bill of materials on page 14 to ensure all parts are delivered before starting. If you forget to install a slot-nut during the build, you can insert it directly into the slot from the side or use a small hex wrench to wiggle it into place.

Assembly instructions

The assembly process involves several key stages:

• Base Assembly: Connect the 480mm profiles using the Pivot Plates, M8x16 bolts, and M8 washers.
• Upright Installation: Attach the Left (A4) and Right (A5) uprights to the base using M8x25 bolts, cap-washers, and lock-nuts. Build this section upside down for easier access.
• Crossbar: Install the 490mm crossbar (A2) to the uprights using M8x16 bolts and cap-washers. Ensure no moving parts of your pedals will interfere with this crossbar.
• Heel Rest: Attach the heel rest (A6) using M6x16 bolts and washers. The heel rest can be used upside down for lower positioning.

Pedal installation and adjustment

Once the rack is assembled, mount your pedals. Note that the pedals should lean forward in the inverted position. Every major part of the rack can be adjusted to your preference. Ensure all bolts are tightened securely after finding your desired position.

Pedal slider installation

If you are using a pedal slider, follow the specific 'Pedal Slider Baseplate' manual for the slider hardware. Prepare the rack using the steps on page 11, then proceed with the slider installation. After the slider is installed, continue with the main rack assembly on page 4.
