Learn how to install the SimXPro Elbow Hinge for a flexible monitor arm setup on your sim rig, with step-by-step instructions and common pitfalls.

Quick answer

The SimXPro Elbow Hinge lets you tilt and angle your monitor or dashboard for a custom view. Install it on your aluminium profile cockpit using the included hardware and a few simple tools.

Why use an elbow hinge

A fixed monitor position works for basic setups, but an adjustable hinge lets you change the angle for different driving disciplines or to reduce glare. The SimXPro Elbow Hinge is built for aluminium profile cockpits and supports a stable monitor position while allowing fine adjustments.

Tools you will need

You need a 5 mm hex key (Allen wrench), the hinge hardware kit, and the monitor or dashboard you plan to mount. No power tools required.

Step-by-step installation

  1. 1. Attach the hinge base to the profile: Slide the hinge base onto the aluminium profile where you want the arm. Use the provided M6 bolts and T-nuts to secure it. Tighten with a 5 mm hex key. Common mistake: Overtightening can strip the T-nut. Snug is enough.
  2. 2. Mount the monitor plate: Attach the VESA plate (if not pre-installed) to the back of your monitor. Then connect the plate to the hinge arm using the supplied screws. Checkpoint: Make sure the VESA pattern matches your monitor (75×75 or 100×100 mm).
  3. 3. Adjust the tension: Turn the tension screw on the hinge to set the resistance. A tighter screw holds the monitor in place; a looser one allows easier movement. Common mistake: Setting tension while the monitor is off can lead to sagging. Adjust with the monitor attached.
  4. 4. Route cables: Use cable clips or ties along the arm to keep wires out of the way. Avoid pinching cables between moving parts. Checkpoint: Test the full range of motion after routing to ensure cables don't snag.
