WHEEL RIM COMPATIBILITY

Wheel

Choose M5 bolts with a maximum thread length of 12 mm. Fanatec Wheel Rims are supplied with the correct bolts. If your wheel rim is not pre-drilled, use the drilling template for the CSL Universal Hub which can be downloaded from the Fanatec website.

CSL UNIVERSAL HUB WIDTH ADJUSTMENT

The CSL Universal Hub features adjustable button box modules for maximum compatibility with a variety of rim shapes and diameters.

ATTENTION: Do not attempt adjusting the button box modules whilst the CSL Universal Hub is attached to a wheel base.

Loosen the bolts highlighted in blue by using the 3 mm Hex tool (B) and the nuts highlighted in red by using the Wrench tool (C) as illustrated below.
NOTE: Do not remove the bolts or nuts. Only loosen the bolts and nuts enough to allow the left and right modules to move. Only use the provided tools, (B) and (C).Diagram 01

Adjust the horizontal position of modules as desired, then tighten the highlighted bolts and nuts to secure the desired position as illustrated below.
NOTE: Both left and right modules move symmetrically. Ensure both can move freely at the same time while adjusting the position. Only use the provided tools, (B) and (C) to tighten the bolts and nuts.

ATTACHING THE CSL UNIVERSAL HUB
