Silver Sim Rig Side Mount with T-Plate – for Shifter, Mouse Tray and Accessories

The silver SIDE MOUNT T-PLATE is a stable and versatile base designed to expand a Sim Racing cockpit with additional equipment. It allows accessories to be mounted conveniently at the side of the frame, keeping essential controls and useful items within easy reach while driving.

The mount can be used to install a shifter, handbrake, mouse tray, button box, small shelf or other Sim Rig accessories. Its modular design allows the equipment layout to be adapted to the user’s individual preferences and the configuration of the complete setup.

The side mount is designed for Sim Rig frames made from 4080 and 40160 structural aluminium profiles from Series 40 with an 8 mm T-slot. It can be used when building a new cockpit or when upgrading an existing setup at a later stage.

The combination of silver-grey 4040L corner brackets, a black T-plate, black countersunk screws and clean cover caps provides a technical and professional-looking finish.

Installing the Side Mount on a Sim Rig

The mount is installed on the side of a frame made from 4080 or 40160 aluminium profiles. Before assembly, determine the required height and distance of the accessory from the seat, steering wheel and other cockpit components.

The T-PLATE 40X120 is attached to the structure using:

• 3× ISO 10642-M8X20 BLACK
• 3× 8-4-M8.40

The three 4040L corner brackets are installed using:

• 6× ISO 7380-M8X16
• 6× 8-4-M8.40

After positioning all components, tighten the screws evenly while checking the position of the mount in relation to the frame. Installation in the profile slots allows the set to be repositioned and adjusted to suit the user’s height, seat position and the type of accessory being installed.

After assembly, fit the three 4040L-Covers to the corner brackets. The covers conceal the screws and mounting openings, improving the appearance of the structure. The 4080-cover provides a clean finish for the exposed end of the compatible 4080 profile.

Stable and Professional Accessory Mounting

The three 4040L corner brackets provide additional support points, while the 40x120 T-plate stabilises the connection to the cockpit frame. This arrangement reduces unwanted movement of the mount while shifting gears, operating the handbrake or using other accessories.

The black countersunk ISO 10642-M8X20 BLACK screws match the black surface of the T-plate. The standard ISO 7380-M8X16 screws complement the silver-grey 4040L brackets, creating a visually consistent connection.

Before mounting a heavier device, make sure that its weight, mounting method and position do not place excessive load on the frame. Large or unusual accessories may require an additional plate or support.

The silver SIDE MOUNT T-PLATE is a practical solution for users who want to expand their cockpit with a shifter, mouse tray or other accessories. The complete set of corner brackets, T-plate, covers and mounting hardware allows a stable, adjustable and professional-looking connection to the Sim Rig frame.
