FAQ
Products
We have the product characteristics listed on the product page, and if you need to check out the manuals, they are over on the Support page.
Is the HW kit included with the products?
Yes! We always include the required bolts and nuts for mounting the rigs, monitor mounts, and accessories.
Can I add custom profiles to my order?
Yes. To place an order for our custom-length aluminum extrusion profiles, contact us at info@sim-lab.eu and specify the required dimensions. Please refer to the product page with the available lengths, before you send us an email.
Also note that we cut these profiles on demand, and as a result, the lead time for custom profiles is typically 10-15 working days. Therefore, carefully consider your order before placing it, as custom profiles are cut per request.
Can I remove plates from the product packs?
No, the plates cannot be removed or packes modified. The plates production is our major bottleneck and to avoid any hold-ups we assemble the kits all together with the plates in advance.
Can I change the profile dimensions from the pre-packed kits?
No, we are not able to modify the product kits that are available in our offer. However, you can order additional custom profiles to meet your specific requirements.
I weigh xxx kg. Will the rig support me?
Yes. Aluminium profiles we use are quite rigid, and weight limit for even the slimmest profile (40x40) far surpasses the human weight.
How to choose the seat?
To choose the right sim racing seat size, consider your body type and comfort preferences. Keep in mind that bucket seats are tighter than standard car seats, so for extra comfort, we recommend XXL size or reclining seats. Check the seat's specifications and dimensions chart.
Are the seat mounting accessories included with the seat?
No, you need to order them separately. Depending on the seat type, you need either the side brackets or the seat slider. Email our support if you need any addiitonal info.
Can I order a seat outside of EU?
At this time, we do not offer shipping for our seats outside of the EU due to the high shipping and return fees. Nevertheless, if you are still interested in buying our seats, please get in touch with our support team.
Can I use my own seat on a Sim-Lab rig?
Most of bucket and recliner seats can be mounted on our rigs. Please consult manuals for specific rigs and if the width of the cross-member profile is wider than the distance between left and right mounting holes, your seat will fit.
How many caster wheels should I use?
One set is enough for lighters rigs, but we would recommend two sets for heavier drivers/rigs.
How many cable clips I need to get for a rig?
One or two sets of cable clips would be more than fine.
Can I combine the sim feet and the caster wheels?
No, you can attach either the caster wheels or the sim feet to your cockpit or (stand-alone) monitor mounts.
Is GT1-EVO monitor holder compatible with Podium brackets set?
No. The EVO holder needs to be mounted to the back of the horizontal profile that holds the EVO wheeldeck bracket. When the Podium DD mount is added, both the wheel deck bracket and profile need to be removed. Therefore, the EVO monitor holder cannot be used with the Podium brackets set.
How to choose the right monitor mount?
Check out the Vesa size of your monitor and compare it with the plate we ship with our packs. Also, check the product page with the specification. We listed there the monitor size which a specific monitor mount can support. If you still need some suggestions for your monitor setup, send an email to our support.
Can I use CSW wheel on front mount bracket?
You can mount Fanatec CSW wheels on both front and wheel deck mount. However, the front mount is not officially supported by Fanatec.
