Shaker bracket

I love this product and have many hours in it so far. I went a little nuts with the Buttkickers and have one at each corner. I have the Seat lifters and the frame extenders with wheels in addition to two Bass Shaker mounts which work PERFECTLY. However you cans ee from the video that I jury rigged mounts for the fronts using parts from other Openwheeler accessories. Awesome kit, so versatile and all tools need come with every kit. These folks do not mess around which is why I would like to ask fo help. Can you fabricate a metal part that is essentially two Bass Shaker L mounts connected with an additional 8 inches or so between them as a single piece? I currently use one of the connecting bolts that connect the pedal platform to the front T-member at bottom front on to hold a short steel part that formerly had a floor wheel attached on each side. You see the Kickers attached to these. These work REALLY well. in iRacing I get tyre slip and kerbs and road bumps for each wheel as well as RPMs and shifter clunk. all that in addition to FFB using URFFB which can turn an old Logitech like I have into the most it can be, which iRacing does not do. in Dirt Rally the big effect is Jump Landing among the others. When the front hits the ground the front shakers BOOM in chunky low frequencies, and especially in VR the immersion is top notch! I honestly don't think I could get this kind of flexibility from any other cockpit, and it is made from very strong steel. The wheel column has never been an issue for me as you can move the pedal platform pretty much wherever you want. Don't let how I have it set up fool you, you can completely alter it. Super flexible. The steel is perfect for Bass Shakers. You really want a metal to metal connection with a good amount of surface area - WHICH is why I really want that part. It would let me habg the front kickers vertically, thier ideal position, and provide more surface area in the connection for metal to metal vibration transfer. Please contact me or reply to this review and I will check back. I am not afraid to say I am willing to pay a premium for this part made with the same steel used in the current Bass Shaker Mounts (awesome and vital acccessory). The only thing left in my mind is one more custom part to mount a shaker directly behind the chair for a total of five Bass shakers. You run engine effects through the chair shaker and wheel effects in the corners. Maximum tactile transducer power and precision configuration for more accurate simulation. I drive these using fantastic software called SimHub. Created for a high end sim solution, the software is available by itself and the best shaker driver software out there. Super tunable, Different setups for different games or cars, just awesome. New wheel and pedals coming whenever the Supply Chain Gods smile upon me. Help me Openwheeler, you are my only hope! Buy it folks. Best rig out there. the ONLY rig for those of us large enough to worry about breaking a PlaySeat. I am 320 and this thing could hold two of me. Look at it.

This is 100% worth the money. I used this bracket to mount a Buttkicker (BK) Gamer Plus. I previously had the bracket mounted on one of the seat risers. The BK was sitting under my seat. I think having the BK in this location caused it to heat up faster vs putting it on this bracket. I am also using a small fan blowing across the BK, but will be testing if this is necessary while I play this week. I am playing on a fairly plush carpet floor using the Openwheeler gen 3 seat with the seat extension risers. Using the BK clamp/bracket on the rear right seat riser just didn't feel as good as having the BK bolted to the bracket, and having the bracket tightly bolted to the rig's frame. I used the rear right mounting hole for this bracket. I feel like the force from the BK is better transferred to the frame of the rig vs having it mounted to the seat literally directly under my butt. This company is fantastic, I will recommend their products to any of my friends and family!

My unit didn’t come with any hardware and the Gen 3 didn’t have enough extra hardware to mount it. The mount is relatively solid and does its job. But the size and shape aren’t the best for mounting a buttkicker gamer 2. This mount damaged my threading on the clamp for the BKG2 due to the angle and rubbing. The screw is also now bent.

I had an older model Open Wheeler seat/chassis racing combo and wanted to convert it to a flight sim setup using a Seat Lift kit plus add a Buttkicker bass shaker. I called the company to be sure the items would work on my older seat. I spoke to Dimitar who advised me I had a Gen 1 seat chassis but needed to upgrade to a Gen 3 chassis (offering a much better than expected discount on the Gen 3 chassis upgrade) for the risers and shaker bracket to work. His advice and help after I received all the parts was invaluable in helping me do the necessary modifications. The build quality of all parts is top-notch and I cannot imagine getting better service than was provided to me by Dimitar.

As other reviewer has stated, these things are overpriced for a piece of metal. I actually bought 2, so it was a whopping $70 for 2 things of metal and 4 screws. It does the job, but I have a hard time differentiating right from left with the bass shakers as it rumbles the whole thing. I'd only get 1 next time.

Great product and service

I used the OpenWheeler Universal Bracket to mount a Buttkicker mini LFE sub woofer / transducer to my racing seat and upgraded it to a racing simulator! This is a $25 part, not a $35 upgrade! (The OpenWheeler seat lift kit has more components and costs less.) Setup and assembly was simple. If it were $10 cheaper, I would easily rate it 5 stars.

awesome products. works as it should. Team Homeracer is an excellent company, and they're always there to help.
