Sim racing · head‑to‑head
While a dedicated grab handle saves your expensive steering wheel from being abused as a leverage point, a set of lock washers quietly keeps your aluminum profile rig from rattling loose. Both serve as cheap but vital insurance policies for your cockpit.
Trak Racer assembly manuals are notorious for errors regarding washer placement, and kits often arrive missing hardware. Keep in mind that you might need to omit lock washers in tight spots if your provided bolts are too short to catch a thread.
If you struggle with ingress and egress in a deep bucket seat, the $9.90 metal Handle is an absolute must-have to protect your steering shaft. However, if you are building or expanding an aluminum profile rig, spending $7.11 on a 10-pack of Trak Racer Lock washers is cheap insurance against structural rattle.
