RocketGecko 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2014 Decided I want to buy a G27 but before I order it I remembered that my desk is glass top. My concern is that, even though the glass is thick, the vibration of the wheel would damage the glass. So I was wondering if anyone has ran into the same issue or if someone would have a way of mounting it without damaging the glass. I'd like to keep from getting a wheel stand but if its the only way to get around it then i guess that's that. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruce Raeburn 2 Report post Posted July 11, 2014 I would suggest using some sort of insulation-friction increasing material, sheet rubber or something similar. (pickup truck bed liner type mat?) Something that could spread out the clamping forces a bit. Bruce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chance of 2 dinky G27 motor's breaking it are slim to nil. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
