How to Use T-Nuts: A Quick Guide
Method 1: Simply slide T-Nut into T-Slot from the side.
Method 2: Push T-Nut into T-Slot at an angle then snap into place so it ends up flat. You can
lever the allen wrench in the screw hole to help with this. This method is what you will use
once the ends are blocked.

How to Use T-Nuts: A Quick Guide (Cont.)
Once T-Nut is in place, simply secure bracket etc. with the correct length bolt.
PRO TIP: If you are installing vertically and need to hold the T-Nut in place, you can put
the long end of the allen wrench into the T-Slot channel to hold it from below while hand
tightening the bolt to secure it from sliding. Then do final tightening with the allen
wrench.

Build Guide
Step 1: Connect Monitor Mount Uprights
Profile:
● 2 x 19” 1-Slot Profiles
Hardware:
● 2 x 4-Hole Joiner Brackets
● 8 x 16mm Standard Bolts
● 8 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Connect 19” monitor uprights to the back of cockpit uprights. TIGHTEN well. These will
hold a lot of weight.

Step 2: Add Lower Extender Arm Brackets
● 2 x 2-Hole 90° Corner Brackets
● 2 x 16mm Standard Bolts
● 2 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Both need to be level with each other. Use a tape measure to ensure they are at the same
height. You will fine tune the height for your monitors in a later step.

Step 3: Add Extender Arms
Profile:
● 2 x 10” 1-Slot Profiles
Hardware:
● 2 x 16mm Standard Bolts
● 2 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Both need to be even front to back with each other. Use a tape measure to ensure they
are mounted at the same distance. You will fine tune the distance to your monitors in a
later step.

Step 4: Add Upper Extender Arm Brackets
● 2 x 2-Hole 90° Corner Brackets
● 4 x 16mm Standard Bolts
● 4 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Page 9

Step 5: Add Horizontal Rail
Profile:
● 1 x 40.5” 1-Slot Profile
Hardware:
● 2 x 2-Hole 90° Corner Brackets
● 4 x 16mm Standard Bolts
● 4 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Horizontal rail needs to be resting ON TOP of extender arms, flush with the ends of the
extender arms.
Horizontal rail needs to be centered. Use a tape measure to ensure the connections to
the extender rails on each are the same distance side to side.

Step 6: Install Vesa Mount on Center Monitor
Hardware:
● 1 x Gaming Monitor (Purchased Separately)
● 1 x Vesa Mount
● 4 x 12mm Vesa Mounting screws
Tighten Vesa mount so screws are in the middle of the vertical adjustment channels and
not too tight. This will allow for fine tuning up/down & rotate right / left. Use either Vesa 75
inner holes or Vesa 100 outer holes as needed to fit your monitor.

Step 7: Install Center Monitor
Hardware:
● 2 x 12mm SHORT Bolts
● 2 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
By keeping bolts slightly loosened you can make Two Types of Adjustments:
1. Slide right & left along the rail (Move until centered. Check with tape measure.)
2. Tilt monitor angle back and forward, which slides 12mm SHORT bolt in Vesa Mount top
channel (Move until monitor is level. Check this using a level app on most smartphones.)
To lock monitor angle adjustment in place, tighten bolts while holding the monitor in position.
Letting go before tightening will allow the monitor to slide back to default position.

Step 8: Adjust Height & Distance
Now let’s adjust the viewing height, and viewing distance.
Be careful to prevent damaging the monitor. Have a good grip when moving things, and
be sure to re-tighten everything well once you’re done with each step.
Pro Tip: Viewing distance should be set as close as possible. Ideally be just behind the steering
wheel for best FOV (field of view).
Adjust Viewing Distance (Forward & Back):
Slightly loosen vertical bolts highlighted in blue.

Step 9: Adjust Height & Distance (Cont.)
Adjust Viewing Height (Up & Down):
Slightly loosen horizontal bolts highlighted in blue
Remember to tighten everything once you’re done!

Step 10: Install Top & Bottom Pivot Plates
Hardware:
● 2 x Top Pivot Plates (with angle print)
● 2 x Bottom Pivot Plates (blank)
● 8 x 12mm SHORT Bolts
● 8 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Install top pivot plates (with print) and bottom pivot plates (no print). Leave bolts slightly
loose so you can slide them back and forth. Mount them at the ends of the horizontal rail.
We can move them closer in a later step.

Step 11: Install Side Arms
Profile:
● 2 x 19” 1-Slot Profile
Hardware:
● 8 x 12mm SHORT Bolts
● 8 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
Connect 19” side arms with 12mm bolts in the top and bottom brackets. You may need to
slide the top and/or bottom slightly to get it all lined up. This is normal.
To pivot arms: Keep center bolts tight, just slightly loosen end bolts (top & bottom) in the angle
adjustment channel. Then tighten all bolts again to lock in place.
Use printed guides to set arms to 50° angle (you can change this later)

Hardware:
● 2 x 1-Hole End Caps
Install 1-Hole End Caps on ends of side arms.

Step 13: Install Vesa Mount on Left & Right Monitors
Hardware:
● 2 x Gaming Monitors (Purchased Separately)
● 2 x Vesa Mounts
● 8 x 12mm Vesa Mounting screws
Tighten Vesa mounts so screws are in the middle of the vertical adjustment channels and
not too tight. This will allow for fine tuning up/down & rotate right / left. Use either Vesa 75
inner holes or Vesa 100 outer holes as needed to fit your monitor.

Step 14: Install Left & Right Monitors
Hardware:
● 4 x 12mm SHORT Bolts
● 4 x Standard Spring T-Nuts
By keeping bolts slightly loosened you can make Two Types of Adjustments:
1. Slide right & left along the rail.
2. Tilt monitor angle back and forward, which slides 12mm SHORT bolt in Vesa Mount top
channel (Move until monitor is level. Check this using a level app on most smartphones.)
To lock monitor angle adjustment in place, tighten bolts while holding the monitor in position.
Letting go before tightening will allow the monitor to slide back to default position.

Step 15: Adjust & Align Monitors
Now you’ll use a combination of 2 adjustment types to get the side monitors mostly
aligned (fine tuning in next step):
1) Slide side monitors along side arm rail (by slightly loosening top bolts)
2) Slide the entire arm assembly (pivot plates, arm, & monitor) together along the
horizontal rail. (by slightly loosening pivot plate bolts on horizontal rail)
1) Slide side monitors along side arm rail example:
2) Slide entire arm assembly along the horizontal rail example:
