Overview
Simple slider mechanism for mounting throttle with quick release. I made it out from spare 4040 series profiles but will work well with 3030 too. Support frame is mounted to the seat with right angle brackets. The throttle slider is 40cm long.
Joystick mount is pretty simple as well, relies only on one bolt to be mounted to the shifter cluster.
Bonus content: 3D printed part and 4040 end cap used in my newest HOTAS QR system for easy mounting to the vertical support of the shifter cluster. The printed parts is used as stabilizer on the bottom of the 4040 platform.
Thumbscrews used in the slider are M6, M8 for the joystick. Profile endplates are used as connectors.
