STEP 1
Let’s start building your new simracing rig!
Lay out all the individual parts as shown below
Note: this list excludes the wheelmount parts those parts can be found on page
12/13/14

3
Note: in some steps we notify you when longer bolts are needed instead of the
standard M8x16. If no bolt size is mentioned the standard M8x16 bolt should be
used.
STEP 2
Lay down the 1400mm profiles next to each other and remove the red striping from
the main profiles.
Note: those wil be added later on after we are done building.

4
STEP 3
Attach the feet to the main profiles using the listed parts, as shown below
The profiles and feet should look like shown in the bottom picture after assembly.
Note: M8x25 bolts need to be used on this step.
Caster wheels are optional (TR80-WHEELSET)

5
STEP 4
Add the listed parts to the 500mm middle profile before placing it inbetween as
shown below
Note: make sure to break off the taps in the corner brackets with a flat screwdriver if
they don’t sit flush on the aluminium profile as demonstrated here

6
STEP 5
Attach the 500mm end profile with the listed parts as shown below
Note: M8x25 bolts need to be used on this step. the branded plate can be mounted
as optional by sliding it in from the side before attaching it to the build.
When you completed step 5 your build should look like this:

7
STEP 6
Place two 580mm profiles on top of the existing square as shown below
Note: its usefull to have the cornerbracket all the way to both ends to create a perfect
square. This wil help with aligining the seatrails in step 7
After adding the parts in step 6 your build should look like this:

8
STEP 7
Add the seat slider and brackets as shown below.
After fitting the leaver, test if the rails can slide easily without any rubbing.
Note:If you are a tall person its advised to use mount the rails as shown below. If you
are short its advised to mount the rails on the most forward end of the profile.
Start with placing the rails with the flat side upwards and the metal protrusions facing
inwards. The leaver should be pulled upwards to unlock the rails.
Now slightly fasten the front bolt of the rails just enough to keep it in position but
allow the rails to swivel at the back slightly to align the back bolt without any tension.
Now use a screwdriver (or the leaver) on the metal protrusions on the inside to slide
the rails forward to gain acces to the back bolt, now fully tighten the back bolt.
If that bolt is tightend slide the rails backwards again to regain acces to the front bolt
and fully tighten it. After fully tightening the rails bring the rails back to the neutral
position and mount the other side in the same way.
After both rails are in neutral position and tightend its time to add the leaver.
The leaver needs to be bend outwards a bit further than the actual width of both rails.
Now place one side with the holes in the protrusions with the other side just above
the rails and apply a bit of force inwards to overcome the resilience, now allign the
leaver with the other end of the rails protrusions.
If the leaver is placed and it unlocks/locks the rails correctly continue mounting the
seatbrackets.

STEP 8
add the seat (GT style shown below) to the bracket and test if you can freely adjust
your seating position with the leaver.
Note: If this doesn’t go smoothly realign the seatbrackets to have it mounted without
any in or outwards tension.
STEP 9
Add the 780mm profiles with the listed parts as shown below.

10
STEP 10
Add the 580mm and 400mm profile with the listed parts as shown below.
Note: right side is illustrated but you could also choose to mount this on the left side.
Optional: If you want to mount an extra profile this part can be ordered online with
partnumber: TR80-SMEX-BLK

11
STEP 11
Attach the shiftermount to the frame with the listed parts as shown below.
Note: 4x M8x20 bolts should be used to mount the shiftermount to the L shaped
bracket. 4x M8x16 is used to secure the L shaped bracket to the profile.
Before fully tightening the shiftermount see below for adjustability options.
Note: adjusting can also be done with the shiftermount mounted.

12

STEP 15
Add the pre assembled side support structures of the pedalplate to the main profiles
and place the pedalplate on top as shown below.
Following step 16 before adding the pedalplate can be done also (depending on
personal preference).
Note: a raised pedalplate(as pictured here) for a formula pedal position can be used
optional and ordered with partnumber: TR160-F1PEDALUP

16
STEP 16
Slide the T - Nuts into the main profiles and tighten the upright structure with the
handles as shown below.

17
The pedalplate can be adjusted towards your likings as shown below
Almost there!
Now its time to personalize the seating/wheelmount and pedalplate towards your
likings. Every component can be adjusted to personal preference as shown below.

18
STEP 17
Add end caps on the outer ends of the profiles and brackets.
Also measure up the red lining and cut this to desired lengths to fit the profile on
desired spots.
That’s it, you are done!
We wish you a lot of fun with your freshly built simulator.
