I'm about to pull my hair out trying to get this done. In my frustration, if I've missed a link or another post telling me how to do this, I apologize. I have the Happ Competition 8-way joystick, and for the life of me, I cannot get the actuator to stay in place. Perhaps the e-ring is too loose, do I have to manually tighten that thing or does it clip on in some magical way that I'm not aware of? Anyways, I've spent an hour almost trying to get this to work, and I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. |

No prob, we all started there... Can you post a picture of what is causing you the problem? I don't recall if the Comp stick needs a sleeve to keep the actuator in place, but that could the problem you describe. Sounds like there is a part missing somewhere if you are seeing this kind of problem. |

Wow thanks for the fast reply! The instructions that HApp gives seem to indicate that this pops up. To make matters more confusing, I have four joysticks, all similar and all from Happ (two four ways and two eight ways), with different sizes of e-rings. I have put the two erings in my hands in the photo. |

Okay... the Comp typically comes with 2 different sleeves for installation into a wood or steel control panel. Based solely on your pic, you are installing into a steel control panel, so that means you need to use the shorter spacer on the joystick shaft. The deeper your joystick base is from the top of your control panel, the longer the spacer you need. The joystick shaft should use the larger e-clip. |

Thanks for the heads up. As far as attaching the e-ring, is it just supposed to snap on, or do I need to use pliers to tighten it? |
