Simagic p1x pro + TK varano seat + trak racer universal seat slider
(Joking about the crying, but i was extremely flustered lol)
First time building a sim. Everything was going very well until the seat slider. Nothing seemed to line up right, there was little to no room to get some of the bolts tight. This seriously took me maybe 4.5 hours to get installed.
Im assuming the noise you hear in the video while moving the seat forward and back isnt supposed to be that loud?
I'm a very handy man and have installed seats in race cars with sliders but seriously I dont think this seat was meant for this universal slider. What I actually had to do was take 2 bolts from the frame that were a little bit longer and swap em with the bolts that were given to mount the slider to the bottom of the seat. I had to remove the aluminum frame that the seat attaches to, install the slider onto the seat first, keep the little bolts that the track bolts into those little metal piece that slide into the track loose, then slide the aluminum rails onto the seat. However I was only able to tighten down the 2 rear metal / bolt pieces on the slider down while the front 2 are loose. It is IMPOSSIBLE to access those. I then adjusted the frame to have even spacing on each side, about 2 inches from the edges to make sure the rails are straight, and finally, install the lever to be able to move the seat. I feel as if this seat shouldve provided spacers to allow more room and give some seat height to be able to tighten these bolts down.
Every single video and setup I see tend to have seat sliders with side mounts to the buckets and that looks 1000% easier to install. However, its done, its a little wonky, but it works.
The question is, has anyone else ran into a similar issue? And im assuming that loud noise when moving the seat isnt very normal lol.
