Is The Apex Sim Racing Dash Board Compatible with my Wheelbase / Mount?Updated 9 months ago

WE NEED TO ADD THE WHEELBASES THAT THIS SOLUTION WILL WORK FOR

If you're concerned about mounting a dash to your rig due to the wheel deck design, here's a potential solution using spacers to clear the deck.

Step 1: Confirm Your Wheelbase / Wheel Base Mount

Before proceeding, please confirm which wheelbase you’re using. Different wheelbases may require different mounting approaches, and we want to ensure that this solution will work for your setup.

Step 2: Use the Appropriate Spacers

To adapt the dash to your setup, you can use 10mm spacers as shown in the image below:


In this example (ASR6):

  • 10mm Spacer: Provides the necessary clearance to ensure the mount sits flush.
  • 6mm Wheelbase Mount: Needs to be taken into consideration for the bolt size.
  • 10mm into Wheelbase: This depth is required for secure mounting.
  • M8 x 35mm Bolt: This should be used to secure everything together.

These components should allow the dash to be mounted flush with your rig, clearing the wheel deck and ensuring a secure fit while keeping the wheelbase and dash properly aligned.

Additional Considerations:

  • Dash Width: The dashes are 24 inches wide, except for Fanatec Club Sport, CSL Elite, and Thrustmaster versions. Be sure to check the clearance of the uprights of the dash to ensure a proper fit.
  • Mounting Holes: Confirm if your wheelbase has a through mounting hole (like Simucube, where the bolt can go through without limiting the length) or a limited depth hole (like Simagic, where the bolt cannot go through completely). This will affect the bolt length you need to use.
