I am having back problems from gpl and I was wondering. What is an ecconomical solution? I would not mind if I could find some plans to build a cockpit. My thrustmaster pedals are at a bad angle. I have to lean forward to get to the pedals. When racing in this postion I have no back support. I really like my logitech wheel and thrustmaster pedals. I do not want to switch to a hyperstimulator cockpit because it is too much money. I know there are others on the market in the $300 price range but I am about to buy a new video card. My wife would not be happy. Can someone help me? Thanks, Brian Bowles -- Brian Bowles

Brian I sent the pictures we discussed, but before I built the cockpit I had the same problem so I raised the pedals and changed the angle so it was more comfortable. This worked great while I built the cockpit Edward "Brian Bowles" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lsgZ4.26108$[email hidden]... > I am having back problems from gpl and I was wondering.

I recently finished my cockpit. It's basicly simple a metal frame holding a carseat with a low table in front that holds my wheel and screen. I took measurements from my car. I got a nice 2nd hand carseat for appr. 45$ and 50$ for the metal and wooden board. It's very stable and solid. So that's in your price range isn't it? But couldn't you just stuff something under your pedals to place them under an angle? .

Try attaching them to a lever-arch file....did the trick for me a while back Ash http://www.race-timing.com Tim Vanhee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2orZ4.10989$[email hidden]... | I recently finished my cockpit.

For some excellent Lotus 49 drawings check this out http://www.execulink.com/~movegrafx/lotus.htm and keep clicking around as there's more than first appears. [email hidden] (Mauritz Lindqvist) wrote in <4qRZ4.6596$[email hidden]>:

Hi Brian, I have added some links below to pages with some good cockpit pictures of the Lotus. It would for sure be a fun project. I were about to build one myself but my plans changed when I heard about WSC. So now I am working on a WSC cockpit instead...
