ALWAYS start turning a bolt into a thread with your FINGERS. Moving then onto the Allan Key/Hex Key to tighten EQUALLY In using your fingers, you're able to feel BOTH bolt & thread are mechanically marrying correctly This will STOP cross threading & is the best method in initial application! |
You MUST turn your bolts EQUALLY on installing the 2 x parts of Lowdown Shifter Mount. For example: 3 turns on 1 bolt THEN 3 turns on 2nd bolt - And so on Do NOT turn the bolts EQUALLY? You run the risk of ripping/pulling out the opposite thread The same on removing the Lowdown Shifter MOUNT |

fitting breakdown
1. The key to success with the Lowdown Shifter Mount System is 'TIGHT' but NOT 'OVER TIGHT'.
2. Please be careful NOT to 'Cross Thread The Mount Hex Head Bolts' in the aluminium mount!
Steel is harder than aluminium. Keep the bolt straight, square & true.
REMEMBER - We advise to start this process always by finger, equal turns keeping parts in parallel
Then once the bolt is correctly established Into the thread & you get resistance, move on to using tools.

"It is IMPERATIVE you turn the bolts EQUALLY as you fasten up the bolts into the mount"
Hard - soft install explained‘What does that even mean? Options for one, let me quickly explain.
HARD INSTALL – Driving Sim Mod is connected directly to our Mod Interface System by fittings provided. SOFT INSTALL – Driving Sim Mod is connected to our Mod Interface System - Via the Driving Sim Mod clamp provided. ALL of our Mod Interface Systems are ‘HARD INSTALL' but obviously offer both mounting options. Some Driving Sim Mods, like the Logitech G29 for example Comes with the manufacturers clamping system already fitted. A 'SOFT INSTALL'. Though, unlike others on the market, it can be easily removed and changed into a HARD INSTALL. |
FOR EXAMPLE: On turning over the Logitech G29 Driving Sim Mod and looking underneath (see below) you will identify the manufactured ‘Hard Install’ M6 threaded inserts. Now most common. Some may have slots, that your fitting would go through. Most brands give both options. Soft install has since become pretty much now existent. Except some Flight Mods perhaps. |
