This QRMin Universal Quick Release Footplate Kit is designed to mount to the base of a sheet of material rather than directly to your pedals, to allow quick mounting to and from your rig.
There are a lot of driving pedal and flight rudder sets available today and most have unique mountings that cannot directly translate to our QRMin Quick Release system so here at QR4rigs, with this kit we have now provided you with a way for you to easily swap out your pedal sets on your rig when swapping between Racing and Flight sims where we have not managed to design a direct solution.
These QRMin Universal Quick Release plates attach to any suitably strong sheet material which you will have to source, supply and attach your Pedal set to. The minimum footprint/size of the sheet to accomodate the QRMinUniQR plates should be:
- width (side to side): 324mm
- length (front to back): 304mm
Please ensure that this fits inside your rig on the foot plate and that the QRMin Base Quick Release Plate Kit x4 fits on your rig's footplate (w: 364mm, l: 320mm) before purchase.
Drilling of the holes WILL be required. Drill the holes in your intermediate sheet for the QR Plates at 6.5mm (1⁄4") diameter.
The mounting holes for your pedals are Manufacturer and Model dependant but most will use 6.5mm (1⁄4") holes and M6 fixings with a few exceptions. Consult your User Manual supplied with your pedals for Mounting Hole dimensions.
We suggest the following minimum thickness of these example intermediate sheet materials:
- Steel Sheet (stainless or painted) 2 - 3mm (~1⁄8")
- Aluminim Tread Sheet 2.5 - 4mm (~3⁄16")
- Acrylic/Plexiglass 5 - 6mm (~1⁄4")
- Plywood >6mm (>1⁄4")
We DO NOT supply the intermediate sheet material as this would make shipping costs ridiculous, most local hardware stores and online sheet material suppliers can supply and ship directly to you and some provide a very cheap cutting service too.
Any images showing the intermediate sheets are for CONTEXT ONLY!
Screws are entirely optional and not included unless you choose a size when adding to the shopping cart.
We do however supply a 1:1 scale accurate printed drawing you can affix to your sheet material to help you mark out the holes for the QR Plates.
Some mounting screws of various types are optional to purchase, we strongly recommend that 6-8mm of the M6 thread is threaded into the QR Plate, please ensure that you add the thickness of your material to this to work out which screws you will need.
Examples of recommended fixing types/lengths:
- 3mm (1⁄8") Steel sheet = 10mm Flat head CAP Screws
- 4mm (3⁄16") Aluminium sheet =12mm Flat head CAP Screws
- 6mm (1⁄4") Acrylic/Plexiglass sheet = 14mm CSK Screws
- 9mm (3⁄8") Plywood sheet = 16mm CAP Screws c/w 1mm washer or 16mm CSK Screws
You can choose to add these to your order or to supply these yourself of course.
We have sourced some ultra Flat head CAP Allen screws that only protrude approx 1.5mm above the surface and have rounded edges. Alternatively, if you prefer a flush finish, you can choose from the Countersunk screws available or source your own, but please ensure that the screws do not go deeper than 8mm in to the body of the QR Mounts.
This kit contains:
- 2x QRMin UniQR Plates (left/right)
- 2x QRMin Hook Plates
- 1:1 scale printed drilling template
- 8x Screws can be chosen and are entirely optional
You will need the QRMin Base Plate Kit x4 or QRMin Base Plate Kit x5 to mount to your rig in order to use the QR Plates in this kit.
