I think you 100% made the right call on going with the 45 degree angle.

Make sure you use the correct number of rivetsā¦there are a lot of ārivet countersā out there that will call you on it if you donāt.

I am afraid I will miss the possibility to move the rudderpedals back and forth, when friends come to visit and play with the sim.
The old tracks worked, but had too much friction for a remote operated locking mechanism, and springs, so I just ditched the idea.
But, then I thought I might be able to fit something like these low friction railsā¦

Well, not much to say, really.
Thereās a U bracket that clamps around anything between 5-25mm. The U bracket is attached directly to the gimbal, for strength, as the centering force of the stick can be set very stiff.
My adapter is just a way to mount the base to the 40x40mm frame of the seat.
The review contains more pics of the mount.
I cant believed I missed this thread beforeā¦
Wonderful progress Troll!

Well, there is a lot more than just adjustable rudder pedals to think ofā¦first of all they would have to be checked out on the Viggen and have all the proper certificationsā¦then you would need to give them a check ride before they could take the SimBox NG up soloā¦
Which would require another, tandem seat, SimBox NGā¦just sayān.

I wish I owned a flight school (actuallyānoāI donāt). For if I did I would order two. In the morning you can wheel āem into the gang hangar and simply plug them in. When done for the day, lock āem back in safe storage. No need to have the expense of a dedicated room.
Monetize those mad skilz Mr. Troll!

The prospect of about 300 rivets, to fasten the outer skin, left me with one choice.
Either I develop forearms that would scare Popeye, and order a truckload of spinach. Or get the right tool for the jobā¦
Hereās what a pulled split rivet looks like.
