Fixing My AliExpress Handbrake & Shifters Mount – DIY Sim Rig Upgrade
4I’ve been using these AliExpress handbrake and shifters for a few years now on my sim racing rig, but they’ve always been mounted in a pretty unstable and precarious way — often falling off during intense racing sessions. After putting up with the frustrating setup for far too long, I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and design a custom mounting plate to secure them properly once and for all.
In this video, I’ll walk you through the entire process of fixing the mounting issue, including:
Fixing the problem
Re-fixing the problem after I make it worse
Finally finishing the project
If you’re a sim racing enthusiast, or you’ve purchased budget handbrake and shifters from AliExpress and are struggling with mounting them securely, this video is perfect for you. I’ll share practical advice on how to improve your rig without breaking the bank.

About The Channel:
I love all kinds of motorsport and started making sim racing content to live out my dream of becoming a racing driver but for a lot cheaper and less dangerous. The channel is going to cover everything from competitive sim racing to hotlaps but also other fun stuff like silly challenges and maybe even some IRL racing.
