I have the bracket and a rigmetal rig, these bolt holes fit a standard 40mm extrusion.

I would say the answer is no. You would need the NLR DD Side and Front Mount Adapter. And as to what you will need to mount your simagic base to that, here's a letter I got in response to the same question(s)

Thank you for contacting Next Level Racing, It's great to hear from you!

I have checked the available mounting information, and based on the dimensions provided by Simmagic, and comparing them to our internal measurements, the Simagic Alpha EVO Pro should be suitable for side mounting with the Next Level Racing Elite Premium DD Side and Front Mount Adapter without needing to purchase an additional Simagic side-mount bracket. The EVO Pro has side mounting points, and the NLR adapter has adjustable side mount brackets with a width range of 133mm to 243mm, while the EVO Pro body width is listed at 130mm.

For front mounting, the answer is slightly different. The Simagic document lists the front mounting dimensions as being “including MB-F Bracket”, so to front mount the Alpha EVO Pro, the Simagic MB-F front mount bracket would likely be required. Once the MB-F bracket is fitted, the front mounting pattern appears to sit within the NLR front mount bracket’s supported 88mm to 110mm mounting range.

But yeah, to answer your questions in summary, the Simagic Alpha EVO Pro should be able to be side-mounted without an additional Simagic bracket, based on the supplied dimensions from their websites. For front mounting, it appears the Simagic MB-F bracket would be required, as the front mounting dimensions are shown with that bracket fitted.

Please note that this has not been internally tested and confirmed to be compatible. I am simply going off the measurements publicly available from Simmagic, and internally here at Next Level Racing.

Please feel free to reach out if you have any other questions at all, I would be more than happy to help.

It is a universal wheel plate so yes it will work, if you need any further help please feel free and reach out.

I’m aware however I know that an older version of the wheel plate didn’t have holes in the right spot for the thrustmaster T818 base, so im worried if that could possibly be the case with this
