Fanatec ClubSport Pedals V3 Reverse Mounting?

[yegor]

Hi guys,

I am considering to upgrade my existing equipment: CSR Elite, CS V1 pedals and TH8 shifter. They will be replaced with CSW V2, CS V3 pedals and CS SQ shifter.

I compared the drilling templates of the ClusbSport V3 pedals to V1: the V3 is perfectly matching to the ClubSport V1, but is it ok to reverse mount them? It's the only way I can mount the pedals without making major modifications to my rig.

The V3 is supposed to be pretty close to the V2 construction, not sure if this will still apply but here's how to invert the V2s.

All I need to do is swap the accelerator and clutch pedals then mount it upside down. I'd like to know if it is possible with V3.

I know they can be disassembled the exact same way as the V2 pedals, but not sure if that really helps you.

This is what I did with my V1 pedals and would like to mount the new ones exactly the same way.

confirmed they can be inverted, and the spacer and bracket that puts the brake and gas closer together can be swapped on the V3 as well.

They could not be swapped on the V2 so when you invert the brake ends up closer to the clutch pedal.

One thing to becareful with is the allen nuts, they seem to be of a softer metal probably due to the anodizing so they can strip easily especially since fanatec likes to torque the hell out of them and add loctite as well.

Nice setup man! Do you know if It's possible to replace the clutch pedal with the brake pedal for a 2 pedal setup?

The way the clutch, brake, and gas are connected makes it super easy to just unplug one input and plug in another input, so yeah that's possible. I tried to round up a picture, but basically they are labeled and use the same plug so swapping them is very straight forward.

Oh and a small tidbit, the anodized screws are in fact aluminum, so yes they are quite soft, be careful. Try using penetrating lube if you have trouble, ideally before they are stripped.

Great, thank you for confirmation!

Cool, thanks for the confirmation man!

Anybody try inverting only the brake and clutch and modding the gas to keep its original orientation?
