Monstertech MTS Center Joystick mount in any aluminum profile rig?

[kestrel79]

I just pulled the trigger on a Sim Motion 160mm aluminum profile rig this past Black Friday (great deal!), and I'm looking for a solution to center mount my VKB Fat Black Mamba III joystick w/ S neck extension under the seat, or clamped in front. What do you guys recommend?

I found this on the Monstertech website, I think it's designed for their own rig but was wondering if it would work with any aluminum profile rig under the seat?

Here's the rig I got:

I'm so excited to replace my aging but trusty Obutto Ozone rig from 2008. Think it will be my 2nd rig for my kids someday when they get older and Dad needs a wingman or gunner.

Literally there are 2 different types of industrial aluminium profiles. One is Bosch-Type with various notch sizes (6, 8 and 10mm) and the other one is Item-Type, also with 6, 8 and 10mm notch. Depending on what type you want to use, you´ll need different connectors and different sliding blocks, as the shape of the notch is different with both types. Monstertech uses Item-Type profiles with 8mm notch, wich are also the ones i would recommend, as they have a plain surface and look much better that the Bosch-type profiles with it´s structured surface. Your rig looks like as if it also uses Item-type profiles. If you want to be sure, just purchase a single notch slide block and check if it is fitting the notch. A notch 8 slide block with a M8 thread costs like 1,50 €, so you´re not throwing away too much money if it doesen´t fit.

Hope this helps, cheers
