Wheel Base Shaft Extension – 15 cm Aerospace Aluminium Steering Column Extension with Bracket

Wheel base shaft extension: overview

This 15 cm shaft extension moves the steering wheel away from the base, like the steering column of a real race car.

It lets you hide the base behind a dashboard or monitor for a clean, realistic cockpit, while wheel swaps stay quick on the quick release.

Lightweight aerospace aluminium keeps feedback crisp; a bracket, corner brackets, screws and T-nuts are included.

Who the wheel base shaft extension is for

Cockpit builders:

• Formula and GT replica cockpits
• Rigs with a dash or screen in front of the base

Mounting on aluminium profile rigs

The 8 mm slot standard. Most modern sim rigs use 40 mm-based aluminium extrusion (40x40, 40x80, 40x160) with 8 mm slots. Mounts fix with M8 bolts and T-nuts that slide into the slot, so they can be moved and re-angled at any time.

Rigidity and access. Mount heavy or high-force devices (handbrakes, shifters, wheel bases) as close to a vertical upright or cross member as possible. Leave room to get in and out of the seat.

Tools. A set of hex keys (mainly 6 mm for M8) covers nearly every mount. Snug every bolt, test, then do a final tightening once the position is right.

Setup and use

1. Fit the extension to the base.
2. Mount the support bracket on the rig.
3. Fit the wheel.

Care and maintenance

Check fixings occasionally.
