I used a custom cut metal panel on mine with the wood area routed out where the stick sits. Mine feels fine, but for all intents and purposes, it's on a metal panel. |

Here's my review of Tornado Terry's joystick. I owned both versions (wood and metal). The one featured in the video is the wood version with the longer shaft - red balltop. You can check out my other video of the Green Invader cab to see the metal version - green balltop) DeLuSioNaL29 |

Just wanted to add a note about long shafts on joysticks, especially with 4-ways. Long shafts make installation simpler for below panel installations, but what makes for easy installation isn't always what provides the best control. Many (but not all) 4-ways have, by their nature, a pretty long throw to begin with, by virtue of the diamond shaped restriction. The additional shaft length will increase the throw of the stick, making it tend to feel sloppy for games which require quick changes in direction. Even tweaking the switches on this type of stick usually doesn't work well, as doing so defeats the restrictors function of preventing more than one switch to close simultaneously. Wherever possible, provisions should be made in the mounting plan (recess below or top mounting) for short shaft, 4-way sticks, as the shaft length is an important part of the performance. RandyT |

DeLuSioNal29 do the joysticks you mention fit the standard happ installation layout? I have the panel routed to fit the Happ Ultimate 4-way. Also Randy do you sell 4-ways that will allow me to swap out the happ and use the same bolts and installation as the happ. I measured the board of the control panel and I think it's 7/8 of inch in thickness. Thanks all! Jason |
