Does any manufacturer have a cockpit which supports hanging the pedals?
Or has anyone created an adapter/addition for any existing setup?
The only hanging pedals I have seen are on cockpits that people designed and created themselves from scratch.
I have neither the skill nor the tools to create an entire cockpit myself.
I am looking to buy a cockpit, but I want to hang the pedals, so if there is any model that comes with this ability, or can easily be modified for it, I would like to know what I should buy.
 
Mate all it takes is a saw a drill and some screws to make your own cockpit.
You can invert the pedals on even the most basic of racing rig, have you tried thewayiplay web site before ?.
Its a good place for ideas on building a rig.
 
The Obutto oZone is pretty simple to invert the pedals. Just took me a couple pieces of welding steel, some nuts/bolts/washers, and my drill. Pretty simple, all available at Lowe's or Home Depot.

That is a nice looking cockpit. Unfortunately I do not own a welder nor do I know how to use one if I borrowed or rented one.
 
I bought the cockpit. I didn't weld anything.

You said in your post above that you bought the Obutto cockpit, but that for the reverse pedal mounting you had to weld steel, nuts, washers.
I understand that welding for the cockpit is not necessary, but I assume you mean modifying the pedal setup is where the steel welding came into place.
 
Nah, I didn't have to weld anything, I just bought some welding steel. It's just a cheap type of steel available at Lowe's or Home Depot.

I just drilled holes in the steel and drilled holes in the cockpit and just bolted it together. There's pictures in one of the Obutto threads, just search for them.
 
Oh, I see! I misread it. I hadn't hear of welding steel being a physical product and thought you were referring to the process of welding steel. Thanks.
