Handbrake Plate Next Level Racing NLR-A018 — universal mounting plate for handbrake accessories

The Handbrake Plate Next Level Racing NLR-A018 is a universal mounting plate designed to secure handbrake accessories to compatible racing cockpit frames. It provides a stable, flat surface with multiple mounting points that accommodate common handbrake models. The plate simplifies installation and offers consistent positioning to improve leverage and enable precise braking control during sim racing sessions.

Advantages

The mounting plate is made to deliver a rigid attachment point that reduces flex and movement under load, helping maintain consistent pedal and handbrake feel. Multiple pre-drilled holes allow for flexible placement and adjustment to suit different handbrake types and driver preferences. Its universal design supports compatibility with a range of racing cockpits, making it suitable for both Next Level Racing rigs and other frames that accept universal plates. The flat surface and reinforced structure facilitate easier installation and reliable long-term use.

Suitable for

• Sim racers who want to mount a standalone hydraulic or mechanical handbrake
• Racing cockpits and frames that accept universal mounting plates
• Users upgrading from clamp-style mounts to a fixed plate for better stability
• Adjusting handbrake position for left- or right-hand use and different seating setups

Key specifications

• Universal compatible flat mounting plate with multiple pre-drilled holes for various handbrake models
• Rigid construction to minimise flex under load and provide a stable attachment surface
• Flat profile designed for mounting on compatible racing cockpit frames
• Adjustable mounting positions to accommodate left- or right-side installation and varied handbrake geometries
• Surface finish suitable for mechanical fasteners and long-term use

How to use

Position the plate on the designated mounting area of your racing cockpit frame and align the pre-drilled holes with the chosen handbrake model and the frame's mounting points. Use appropriate bolts, washers and nuts rated for sim racing hardware to secure the plate to the frame and the handbrake to the plate. Ensure fasteners are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque values where available and check alignment and clearance for lever travel. After initial installation, verify the handbrake movement and adjust placement if necessary for optimal reach and ergonomics.

Usage recommendations

Use hardware of suitable strength and length for your frame and handbrake; periodically inspect fasteners for tightness and signs of wear. If your frame requires additional reinforcement, consider adding backing plates or lock washers to maintain stable attachment over time.
