Some wheelbases will not sit flat on a mounting plate because something on the underside gets in the way. A power connector, a moulded foot or a protruding boss holds the base a few millimetres off the plate, and tightening the bolts down onto it is not an option.
This set of four 5mm spacers lifts the base clear so it can be bolted down properly. It is specifically required for the Fanatec CSL DD and GT DD PRO, which both need the extra clearance to mount correctly.
If your wheelbase sits flat and every bolt pulls up square, you do not need these. They exist for the cases where it does not, and forcing a base down onto an obstruction risks cracking a housing or distorting the mounting plate.
Check the underside of the base before you mount it. Anything standing proud of the mounting face needs clearing, and 5mm is enough for the common cases. If you are still choosing hardware, our range of direct drive wheelbases and the matching hardware mounts will tell you what each base needs. Spacers of this kind sit in the racing simulator accessories category rather than being cockpit specific.
"Spacers are the part nobody thinks about until the wheelbase will not sit down. It is worth checking the underside of your base before build day rather than discovering the problem with the rig half assembled and the tools already out."
- Blake Sterling, Founder & CEO, Gamer Gear Direct
They are required for the Fanatec CSL DD and GT DD PRO. Other bases may or may not need clearance depending on what sits proud of the mounting face, so check the underside of yours.
5mm each, and four are supplied, which is one per mounting bolt on a standard four bolt pattern.
Adding 5mm of stack height means your existing bolts have 5mm less thread engagement. Check that you still have adequate engagement, and step up a length if you do not.
