Everything great, except some of parts are wrong size and doesn't fit right, got to drill new holes.
The TR40S is the perfect (and expandable) entry-level Extruded Aluminium Cockpit and has been designed with experience gained since Trak Racer started in 2008. The base structure is 40 × 40mm high-end aluminium T-Slot extruded profile, anodized in black. The Standard (and extremely rigid) Universal Wheel Plate will be supported by 40 ×40mm high-end aluminium T-Slot extruded profile wheel uprights, also anodized in black and supported with Trak Racer-Signature Corner Brackets - mounted to the side for additional support.

Your Feedback Is Our Creation
The TR40S has been improved to withstand hundreds of kilograms in braking force without flex. Select between a flat position, high position or angled position to get your pedals in that ‘sweet spot’.
The pedal plates are constructed from thick, no-flex Carbon Steel Construction and include adjustable, pre-drilled mounting points for all major brand pedals.
Select the Trak Racer Wheel Plate to suit most belt-drive and direct drive wheels on the market. It’s full adjustable and won’t cause any flexing issues; no matter how much torque you want to punish it with!
The TR Gen 2 shifter mount has been strengthened by completely over-hauling the design and increasing the thickness of the mount – it also has a fine-tune slide adjustment!
TR has even created new mounts for other peripherals including handbrake and flight sim mounts that will add directly onto the side of the plate, or of course to any 8mm aluminum profile.
The TR Premium seat slider runner kit will give you quick adjustments of the seat position and lock you in with the least amount of play.
The Trak Racer TR40S represents the best value for money in the market with consideration for it’s brackets and quality extrusion.
We eliminate the hassle of assembling complex racing setups by offering fully built simulators. Contact us about our ready-to-race simulators and enjoy the convenience of receiving a ready-to-use racing cockpit.
