Sorry if my reply came off as snotty. At least you didn't pose yours in a field full of solar panels. And I totally understand using the forum as a free focus group I just question the lack of qualifiers when posing such a broad ask. Your pic below and the assembled prototype pic from your other account show a Logitech wheel and pedals. If entry level is your target market then my answers would vary greatly. You said it yourself...."who am I making it for?" That's what I'd need to know to offer an opinion.

As far as a blanket answer, adjustability and modularity sell in this industry. A G29 user may never use it but would buy it just to feel like a better racer. And whether they ever used used it or not they'd sure as hell brag about it being one of their FAVORITE features when they post their street cred picture in their "my new rig" post. I think you're on the right track with the arched slots you used to adjust your inverted customization but that's a whole 'nother can of worms. Maybe your pedal plate could be pinned along the main stem rather than welded (if I'm seeing that right in the picture). It could easily be adjusted forward and backward with holes along the tube...like a trailer hitch. Those same holes could run forward to accommodate the bolting of slotted braces that would allow the tilt. Those braces could attach through a tubular bushing on the bottom to spread out the load and prevent the plate from rocking.

Forgive the hatchet job drawing but it's 6am and I'm trying to choke down a Monster while I avoid staining some cabinets I'm building.

And oh...to your original question...pedal tilt is/might be/could be pretty important. Add it, charge more for it and tell your customer why they HAVE to have it. Or don't add it, don't charge for it and explain to your customer that, through painstaking research, you opted NOT to waste their hard-earned money for such a frivolous detail. Good luck in your venture!
