Close Encounters w"ButtKicker"?

[Wrenchwench]

Greetings fellow Sim'ers
Has anyone come up with a way to hook up the buttkicker to a chair without a center post(ie..desk chair) My sim rig's seat is part of the frame and my co-pilot bought this buttkicker from amazon.com it's great BUT i would like to attach it to my "cokpit":)

I saw where someone had built a simpit and they made a bracket that held it to the bottom of the seat. I just looked for it but couldn't find it. Another alternative is a "Bass Shaker" It screws to the bottom Of the pit. As a matter of fact I just ordered a set for my pit. Just Google "Bass Shaker" You'll get plenty of info on them.

Another solution that I was going to use before I discovered the "Bass Shaker" was a 1" floor flange screwed to the seat and a piece of 1" pipe threaded into flange, and the Buttkicker attached to that. These parts can be bought in the plumbing dept at Home Depot. for a couple of dollars.

i have a buttkicker in my cockpit it is attached to the seat leg and it works fine

follow up to prior post. my seat is mounted to the floor of the cockpit. The buttkicker is mounted to the R front leg it causes the entire cockpit to vibrate and shake, it has been an awsome abbition to the simulator. I would say that it adds at least as much if not more to the simulator experience as sound dose. I did have some problems with the buttkicker overheating but that was solved buy modifing the case. I cut out a 5 in. opining and added a fan in will now run for houres non stop. good luck with your sim pit:joystick::joystick:

I've been in Skpg's cockpit and the buttkicker is all he says. When the P51 engine starts you'd swear you were in the real thing I have one attached to my standard office chair and it doesn't come anywhere close.
