Hey Thorsten,

Sorry for my delayed response I had been traveling for the holidays. How is your CSL Elite working out and did you come up with a solution to securely mount it?

Hi James

Thanks to you my Friday evening is not a total loss…
Its quiet hard to buy an expensive hardware like that only to discover that there has to be special solutions to hard mount it on a Playseat.

I took the lowest hole for the pedals after i saw your pic and my playseat.
For the wheel base i tried to fix it with 2 screws but that was not really good. So i took the table clamp instead.
Will check how that works.
I think i have to make an adapter for the wheel base in order to fix it really tight on the playseat top plate.
quiet sad that you produce expensive things which need additional work to get them running…

Hey Dan,

Thanks for the comment and I am glad you find my blog helpful. To mount the pedals I used these two holes on the PlaySeat Evolution pedal plate:

Fanatec did not supply me with mounting bolts, but I had some nuts and bolts here that fit. My pedal set came assembled already, but if yours does not, if you put the throttle all the way to the right and the clutch all the way to the left the holes will line up with the holes on the picture above. The pre drilled holes on the the pedal set are associated with the pedals themselves. For example if you wanted the throttle pedal to the left more…that would no longer line up with the mounting hole I show above.

What I have ended up doing is keeping the throttle all the way to right, clutch all the way left, and then moving my brake pedal closer to my throttle. Its easy to move the brake because I dont need a mounting screw in it.

What version of the pedals did you order…the two pedal version or the the three pedal version? If you have the two pedal version of the set you may need to modify your pedal plate, because you are not gonna want your brake all the way to the left.

Does that answer your question? Let me know if you need more clarification or if you have any other questions.
