The RigMetal Plus is an aluminum-extrusion sim racing cockpit built around single-piece 40x80mm base rails for a very stiff chassis. It adds a 10mm thick adjustable wheel plate, a rigid pedal deck with 10mm plates and 40x80mm crossmembers, a shifter mount and upgraded hardware over the Basic model. It suits direct-drive wheel and load-cell pedal owners who want a rock-solid 8020 rig without paying premium-brand prices. Rivals in this class often ship thinner profiles or flex-prone pedal decks; owners rate its stiffness and value highly.

Owners consistently praise the Plus for its stiffness and value, calling it one of the most rigid rigs at its level. Complaints center on assembly time and the bare-frame nature of the kit.
The RigMetal Plus Sim Racing Cockpit is an aluminum profile rig built for a very stiff chassis. It has stronger wheel mounting, stronger gussets and hardware upgrades over the Basic model. It also includes the RigMetal standard wheel plate.
The base lengths are single-piece 40mm x 80mm aluminum profile. The pedal deck uses 10mm thick mounting plates and 40mm x 80mm aluminum extrusion crossmembers, so it is rigid and customizable. The wheel plate assembly is 10mm thick and adjustable. A shifter mount assembly is included.
Pedals, wheelbase and wheel, seat, monitor and shifter are not included. Add-ons shown in the first image are sold separately: the RigMetal Single Monitor Add-on Mount, Computer Mount, Heel Rest, Keyboard and Mouse Tray, and Chassis Caster Kit.
