The EPLAB Matte Carbon Hub is a matte-carbon front cover for direct drive wheelbases in sim racing, with an 88 mm central opening that fits any wheelbase on the market, designed to finish and conceal the front of the bracket once the base is installed.
It mounts onto the base bracket through the two upper holes spaced 56 mm apart and is secured with two M6 bolts, ensuring a solid, play-free fit. Its purpose is to cover and neatly finish the front of the bracket once the wheelbase is fitted, improving the look and integration of the whole setup.

Compatibility
As a purely mechanical, aesthetic cover, its compatibility does not depend on the platform (PC, PlayStation or Xbox) but on the wheelbase bracket. It is compatible with any wheelbase on the market as long as the steering shaft diameter does not exceed 88 mm; there are currently no commercial bases larger than this. It requires a bracket with two upper holes spaced 56 mm apart for fixing with the two M6 bolts.
