Product Info
VPG 50 Spacer
The VPG 50 Spacer is a lightweight, precision-engineered steering wheel spacer designed to create a rigid 55mm extension between your steering wheel and direct drive wheelbase. CNC machined from 6061 aluminium and optimised using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), it delivers exceptional stiffness while keeping weight to a minimum. Designed specifically for the high loads generated by modern direct drive wheelbases, it preserves steering precision, force feedback detail and long-term reliability without compromising cockpit ergonomics.
Finished in a durable hard anodised black coating, the VPG 50 Spacer resists wear and corrosion while maintaining a premium appearance. It features a 50.8mm rear bolt pattern, 50.8mm M5 threaded front mounting pattern, and includes a 5mm carbon fibre adaptor plate for compatible 70mm PCD quick releases, making it a versatile solution for premium sim racing setups.
Precision Engineered for Direct Drive Performance
The VPG 50 Spacer has been developed to withstand the torque, bending and shear loads produced by today’s high-performance direct drive wheelbases. Rather than simply increasing material thickness, VPG used Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimise the geometry, placing material exactly where it’s needed to maximise strength while reducing unnecessary weight.
The result is a compact spacer that delivers outstanding rigidity without adding excessive rotational mass, helping your wheelbase transmit every force feedback detail with maximum clarity.
Built for Strength and Easy Installation
Manufactured from precision CNC-machined 6061 aluminium, the VPG 50 Spacer provides excellent dimensional accuracy and a secure mounting interface for compatible steering wheels and quick releases.
For easier installation, the front and rear mounting patterns are rotated relative to one another, while chamfered edges and countersunk fixings provide improved access to mounting bolts—even in compact simulator cockpits.
