How do I mount my official fanatec csl f1 wheel base to my f1 playseat?

Thomas Price

Hi all! I have Official f1 csl wheel base and pedals Official f1 playseat Please help - my whole set up arrived today but the wheelbase and pedals didn’t come with screws or a drill template. All I have is a table clamp for the wheelbase which definetly will not fit the playseat mounting bracket. I looked for drilling templates on the website and have tried YouTube for setup videos but nothing! Thanks in advance!

5.3 Hardmounting the CSL Elite Racing Wheel The CSL Elite Racing Wheel offers a three-point hardmount location on the bottom side of the CSL Elite Wheel Base (see the right hand side picture below.) To hardmount the wheel base, first disassemble the two blocks from the bottom side with a 3mm Allen key (not included), see highlighted on the left hand picture below: IMPORTANT: Use only good quality M6 screws. Choose the screw length so that the thread does not reach more than 16 mm into the wheel base. Example: If your table thickness is 20 mm the screw must not exceed a total thread length of 36 mm! Always use all three hardmount points, this allows a proper and stable installation and avoids damage!

Thanks for the replies! Managed to assemble it using a block of wood as a pretend table I think I need to remove the two feet on the wheel base - just seen in the destructions Thank you for the print outs

Yes, the feet must be removed for the flat mounting surface, but yes playseat is pre-drilled for fanatec.

I had the original release Red Bull F1 Playseat (2012) and it did not have the holes drilled.  But I contacted Playseat and they sent me out the revised base plate (with updated holes), as well as the revised pedal plate (strengthened) and I totally love Playseat for ever!  All free, even post from the UK!

I still had to modify the pedal plate (the slots needed 1mm drill out to fit the CSL Elite pedal bolts) but that was quite simple
