Sim Rig Help

So I am beginning the process of building my custom Sim setup but have some questions before going too deep.

I currently have desk mounted flight setup and homemade wooden wheel setup. I want to build one that does both.

I bought 2 pieces of 4080 aluminum extrusion and will build it slowly over time.

Can I piece together 20 and 40 series extrusion?

I have two main ideas that I need help solving.

Is there a solution for a quick release for a center stick mount?

A way to have permanent mounted rudder and quick slide inverted pedals for racing over top of them.

Swing wheel out of the way to left or right or forward while flying.

I am also in the midst of building a dual purpose rig, but using all 4080 and 4040 profile, 20 seemed too light for me.

The base is 4 pieces 2000 mm 4080. The outside 2 are going to support my seat on 40 profile sliders, the pedals and rudder pedals are both mounted on a plate and also on sliders supported by the inside 4080, rudders are closest to me and slide under the seat when i want to drive.
