I've just got my CSLs spaced so the pedals sit on the playseat bars and then 3 zipties on each side, doesn't ever move and I fold it up after each use so it would have fallen off by now if it was going to smile
Fair play, exactly what I’ve done, so maybe that’ll do then?

Give it a try and see if it works and you're happy with them flat on the floor.

You can buy kits to make the playseat challenge a bit sturdier and I think one improvement is the connection to the pedal bars. I've not found a need for it so hadn't changed the basic ones yet. There was a UK company that sold them (can't remember the name unfortunately), also can find discussions on reddit with guides if you fancy a bit of DIY.

Waiting on that pesky adaptor before I can try them out, but this cable tie solution does look fairly sturdy, if a bit redneck.

My Fanatec pedals arrived today, thanks Blib.
You're very welcome!

Now, if anyone needs a Logitec C920 wheel/pedal setup? Or, a Playseat Challenge?

As before, I'd rather sell them on to a long time PHer, rather than some random ebayer.

Possibly Indigo Lime, they make plenty of strengthening extras for Playseat Challenge. Also theirs quite a few parts on ebay.

I've joined an AM2 group for the over 35s called Olderdrive. I shall start live racing there once I've had loads more practice.
Did you ever join in our races?

No, not yet.

I'm still pootling around with AI.
