Finished the Logitech/Fanatec hybrid eventually. It's been a bit of a trial of patience, but got there in the end. The pedal base is now connected to the frame floor in no less than ten places - so that fecker isn't moving at all - even under my size 10s. The main reason for doing so was having drilled the frame for the top edge of the pedals base to fit, the rear of it had no support frame underneath to be bolted to. Luckily, there's a central section of the pedal base that would allow 40mm bolts to be passed through and to the aluminium base plate below. Obviously aluminium, even when its pretty thick, isn't the strongest of components - hence the shotgun approach to the centre bolts. I'd rather over-engineer it to begin with - especially if it doesn't have to be removed.
Tried it with both Assetto Corsa and Project Cars 2 last night and it works a treat. I'd be massively quicker using the paddle shifts for gears, but there's something more fun and tactile coming up to a corner, pressing the clutch and braking whilst downshifting from 4th to 3rd. Now there's just the small matter of cable management and cable-tying the frame...
