Shifter-to-Handbrake Quick Swap Plate
I don't have room on my rig for both a shifter and a handbrake mounted at the same time. I want a quick-swap plate so I can switch between my Fanatec Shifter V1.5 and a USB handbrake without unscrewing anything
The idea: A base plate bolts permanently to the rig's side mount. The shifter and handbrake each get a top plate. The top plate locks onto the base plate with a quarter-turn twist lock or lever clamp (swap in under 10 seconds)
Specs:
- Base plate mounts to standard M6 bolt pattern (the Fanatec side mount has 4× M6 holes, ~50mm × 75mm pattern)
- Top plate for shifter: matches Fanatec Shifter V1.5 bolt pattern (2× M6, 52mm apart)
- Top plate for handbrake: universal slotted holes to fit most USB handbrakes (mounting holes vary by brand)
- Locking mechanism: quarter-turn bayonet twist or lever clamp — must be rigid with zero play (any wobble in a shifter is a dealbreaker)
- Must handle lateral force up to ~5kg (slamming gears in a race)
Material: PETG minimum, ideally designed so the locking surfaces could be reinforced with embedded nuts or metal pins for durability
Rally sim racers especially would love this since you need the handbrake for rally games but the shifter for everything else
