I found that the required holes’ positions to fix the FANATEC wheelbase are common for the CSL, CSW, DD.
Also, I checked the required screws’ length.
As a result, I recommend to all FANATEC CSL, CSW, DD customers to use the M6 screws which penetrate a wheelbase by 10–12mm. I’ll write the reason below.
All wheelbases required to prepare 3 holes and the positions are exactly the same.
That means you can use the same hole for all wheelbases.
But you have to consider the length of the bolts…
Firstly I show you the distance of each bolt.
The distance between 2 bolts are 78.4 mm
The distance between 1 and 2 bolts are 66 mm
FANATEC CSL Elite Wheel Base V1.1
FANATEC CSW V2.5
FANATEC Podium DD1/DD2
Next, the length of the bolts
The maximum length that the bolts can penetrate are
CSL 16 mm
CSW 12 mm
DD 12 mm
According to these requirements, I recommend CSL customers use bolts that penetrate the wheelbase by 10–12 mm.
Evidence is below.
