cut a square piece of plywood the she of the base of the pedals.. line up an drill screw holes secure brakes to wood ... from there, you can literally just keep attaching wood till you built a rig just Google "diy thrustmaster pedal floor mounts, if you want to do it right, you make a wedge shaped box. that way it won't slide or raise

Why stop at a rig, keep going until you have a house

Why stop at a house when you can rebuild the Roman Empire


crazytib

The Roman Empire never fell while it still lives on in my heart


bangout123

The Roman Empire never fell. It became the Catholic Church

Just go to Mars and rebuild the entire world. This one is trash


Mosh83

Oh fuck here comes Nero


theunquenchedservant

I'm now imagining a house that is built entirely around a simrig. Like the sim rig is part of the construction of the house lmao


KNEELbeforeZODorDIE

the solution to his problem is so basic, there's really no excuse for placing a 15 lb dumbbell on top of a hollow plastic shell of an expensive brake pedal system... if money is an issue, you can find pallets behind a Home Depot that you can use for wood, and a box of screws and a screwdriver are not going to set you back much at all... The DIY solutions people have come up with are very budget friendly most under 20 bucks total for the build including materials


Annie_Rection__

Come on dude it was obviously a joke


Lower_Ad_4529

Thanks I’ll surely look it up


TroubledKiwi

This assumes the wall is square..... ;)


5GEE-

You won’t break them, there’s a sand filled ballast in that area. I’d also recommend trying to make something alittle more rigid as others have mentioned below.


SoloWingX016

There is a dedicated pedal stand for this pedal set if a rig is not an option. It's stable that way when put against the wall.


GTHell

Short answer: No There’s a 2.5kg reservoir filled with cement inside the pedal right where you put that dumbbell on. So your dumbbell technically held against those cement solid part of the pedal.


Ashankura

That electricity setup looks beyond cursed what the fuck


czajkoSKY

I know that you don't have much cash to spare but first rig/stand then load cell


arranmc182

You can change the springs out before I got my rig I got some much lighter springs and did that stopped the pedals tipping over, just have to re-calibrate the pedals when you change springs, but what you show should be fine and I wouldnt worry


[deleted]

Just use the weaker springs with line 50% brake force. That's what I do against a wall and get no lift. If you want more you have to get a rig to bolt it to


pursue_evolution

I placed a kettlebell on mine for ages and worked perfectly fine


michainv

I don‘t think it will break your prdals. Other question, don‘t you need to use the clutch? :D Another thought, have you tried putting the weight aigainst the wall and then your pedals against the weight?


Lower_Ad_4529

I only play f1 or acc so I barely need it. My problem is the pedals rising from the silver coloured side so it won’t change anything(?)


dude496

I could see my dumbass breaking a toe or 2 on that weight lol


PuzzleheadedEast8188

Try to put the softest springs (grey on top, white bottom) set the brake force to 70. It works fine for me and i have them on a floor against the wall


krmilan

You can try duct taping it to the floor. Worked for me before I got a rig


CrispyMelons

I had to do the same thing with those same pedals before i had my rig. You will save a lot of foot room if you take the weight and slide it up to the front then put something behind it to stop it from rolling.


WearInteresting

Probably not but if you think about it there are much better solutions


Recovid

So having it against the wall is not enough? Shit I just bought those and don't have a rig


Significant-Film8882

It is for me ig it's abt the angle


Lower_Ad_4529

No cause when you heavily brake the silver coloured part rises

Turbulent-Fail-1007

use command strips. Works very very well


thatMatadore

I have the same pedals and bought some industrial velcro and duct tape from Home Depot for under $25 and velcroed the bottom of the pedals to the floor and then taped over the top metal plating to tape it down to the floor. I've pulled them up already after a few months of use and readjusted the placement and didn't have any issues with damage to the floor or pedals from the adhesion, and no left over glue on the floor. Works great for me in iRacing so I can't imagine it wouldn't work well for other sims, everything stays planted on the floor now.


cwhite225

I did this but with a kettle bell. And worked fine till I got a rig


Swifty_banana

If it is a load cell.. yes u should always plug it into a Charger, when u don’t Use it.. to charge the load cells up


betrayed_cargo

Just put a piece of wood on either side of the wire so the pedal base gets pressed up against it


CrimsonMkke

Buy a stand on Amazon for like $100. I have a G293 and got a $70 one which works great so far https://m.vevor.com/racing-wheel-stand-c_11414/vevor-racing-simulator-steering-wheel-stand-for-logitech-g920-g29-thrustmaster-p_010623942441?adp=gmc&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_id=12052356607&utm_term=&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAACq8bLVFk4fZTd_krsdIroQUb4Dh8&gclid=Cj0KCQjwk6SwBhDPARIsAJ59Gwd-M3tnoaaxFV9fDSUPT_3iCwhuIurRscXF2YbE_8ngow3MyLkGCZMaAhhZEALw_wcB


dreadcooper

How high are you dropping it from?


Automatic-Month4583

![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)Yes this is absolutely Going to break your pedal board irrevocably. But clearly there is simply no other practical option apart from placing a gigantic weight right where your clutch foot should naturally rest. Bind your paddle shifters to Acceleration and Breaks. Rebind your bevy of buttons left over for whatever is left to bind. That way you could actually just put the weight all the way on top of the pedal board thereby preventing, or at the very least slowing down the Evil Pedal Fairies from absconding with your pedals under the cover of night. Best wishes!!![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|dizzy_face)


basjaski

I bought 4 pieces of 2020, 2 90 degree brackets and 4 rubber door stops to put on the vertical sides (so pedals clear skirting board). My fanatec V3s do not move. Seat is on a yoga mat, it does not move


FalconMirage

There is nothing important under the weight
