MOZA Multi-Function Stalks: Mounting, Adapter Plate and PC Setup Guide
Quick summary· AI-generated
The article explains how MOZA's Multi-Function Stalks (28 programmable switches including indicator, wiper, headlight, and cruise controls) can be mounted either directly on newer MOZA bases with front holes or via a separate adapter plate for older R16/R21 bases and some third-party wheelbases. Key setup steps include checking physical clearance around the wheel rim, ensuring proper reach and lever return action, connecting the stalks via USB or compatible MOZA base, and configuring inputs in MOZA Pit House—noting that games must support the relevant functions (auto-lights, cruise) for them to work. The guide emphasizes verifying your specific wheelbase compatibility before ordering and testing each input after installation.
Excerpt from Sim Race Webshop B.V. - Product Higlights
Truck and road-car simulation feels more natural when indicator, wiper, lighting and cruise controls sit around the steering column. The MOZA Racing Multi-Function Stalks add those controls to a PC rig, but the mounting route depends on the wheelbase. Here is a practical way to choose between direct mounting and the MOZA Multi-Function Stalks Adapter Plate.
Installed view from MOZA's product announcement: the levers sit around the wheel instead of on a separate button box.What the stalks actually add
MOZA specifies 28 programmable switches, including controls for indicators, wipers, headlights and cruise functions. Its auto-cancelling turn signal mechanism mimics the return action after a turn. The stalks include steel brackets and aluminium extension rods, so they can be positioned around the wheel rather than at an unrelated spot on the cockpit. Standard and inverted mounting are both described by MOZA.
Think about the game you will use: controls are configurable inputs, so the simulator must let you map the relevant functions. A stalk does not make every game implement automatic lights or cruise control. Test and map each input after installation.
Which mounting route fits your base?
MOZA base with front mounting holes
MOZA says the stalks mount directly on compatible MOZA bases with front mounting holes. Before ordering, inspect the front of your exact base, the distance to the wheel rim and available space for the return mechanism. Follow MOZA's fastening sequence and adjust the extension rods so the levers are reachable without hitting paddles or other controls.
Earlier R16/R21 or selected third-party base
The separate Multi-Function Stalks Adapter Plate is designed for earlier MOZA R16 and R21 bases without front mounting holes. MOZA also describes broad third-party support, but that is not a guarantee for every base or cockpit. Check the adapter's mounting geometry, shaft/QR clearance and manufacturer instructions for your specific hardware. The plate is a mechanical mounting aid; it does not replace the need to connect and configure the stalk inputs.
Connect and configure on PC
Mount the stalk assembly loosely and seat yourself in the normal driving position.
Set indicator and wiper reach, then rotate the wheel through its full range to check clearance.
Connect the stalks through a compatible MOZA base or directly to a Windows PC via USB, as supported by MOZA's product guidance.
Use MOZA Pit House to confirm that each switch…
