DIY Aluminum 80/20 Tubing Simrig by The Simpit

I have had so many requests to show my rig (Sim Chassis) and how it was built. In reality my rig is quite old and has gone through so many variations, that despite being highly functional, it was not as nice as it could be. For this and a few other reasons I decided to build myself a new rig and chronicle that build for you.

The new rig will be made of Aluminum Profile Tubing. This tubing comes in many different trade names, Extrusion, 80/20 and profile just to name a few. The tubing also comes in a variety of different styles, shapes and hardware all unique to that manufacturer. Regardless of the brand name or style of tubing they all work in a very similar manor.

One thing to remember when planning your own build. This rig was built for me, and I am a shorter driver. If you are taller you might want to add more length and height to your design. Also some tubing companies might have better hardware then I used available. My design here is more for inspiration and a starting point then actual blueprint to do your own.

I have also filmed a full length version of this rig build. That video will be able to be seen within a couple of days. I also built a triple screen monitor stand, I will have that show available in a couple days after that.
