40x80 mm Aluminium Profile, 600 mm, 8 mm Slot – Black Anodised, Set of 2

40x80 mm aluminium profile set: overview

This set of two 40x80 aluminium profiles gives you 600 mm lengths of black anodised extrusion with standard 8 mm slots – the same building block used by most aluminium sim racing and flight simulator rigs.

Use them to add a cross member, extend an upright, build a side support for a shifter or handbrake, or replace a damaged section of your rig.

The 8 mm slot takes standard M8 T-nuts and bolts, so all the usual brackets and mounts fit.

Who the 40x80 mm aluminium profile set is for

Rig builders and tinkerers:

• Owners of aluminium profile cockpits who want to add mounts
• DIY sim rig builders
• Anyone repairing or modifying an extrusion rig

Features in detail

40x80 mm section

A stiff section that matches the uprights and cross members on many profile rigs.

600 mm length

A practical length for cross members, side supports and short uprights.

8 mm slots

Standard 8 mm slots take M8 T-nuts and the common brackets used across sim racing.

Black anodised

Hard-wearing black anodising matches black rigs and resists corrosion.

Set of 2

Two identical lengths, handy for symmetrical builds.

Compatibility

Fits any 40-series aluminium profile system with 8 mm slots, including our NexusRig aluminium cockpits (Rookie, Sprint, Vanguard, Titan, Fortress, Formula Hybrid, NexusHaul).

Brackets, T-nuts and bolts are not included; see our spare parts.

Mounting on aluminium profile rigs

The 8 mm slot standard. Most modern sim rigs use 40 mm-based aluminium extrusion (40x40, 40x80, 40x160) with 8 mm slots. Mounts fix with M8 bolts and T-nuts that slide into the slot, so they can be moved and re-angled at any time.

Rigidity and access. Mount heavy or high-force devices (handbrakes, shifters, wheel bases) as close to a vertical upright or cross member as possible. Leave room to get in and out of the seat.

Tools. A set of hex keys (mainly 6 mm for M8) covers nearly every mount. Snug every bolt, test, then do a final tightening once the position is right.

Setup and use

1. Plan the position and choose suitable corner brackets.
2. Slide M8 T-nuts into the slots before closing off the ends.
3. Bolt the profiles to your rig with corner brackets, square them up and tighten.
4. Fit end caps for a finished look.

Care and maintenance

Wipe with a damp cloth. Keep the slots free of debris so T-nuts slide easily.
