Homemade joystick shaftcovers
« on: January 19, 2017, 12:28:11 pm »
Hey guys, I did a bone head move trying to tighten the ball tops on my sticks and scratched the metal to where it digs into your fingers. So I was going to order some shaft covers but by the time I pay for shipping I mise well buy new shafts. So my question is has anyone ever made their own and if so what did you use?  Thanks!

no problem. comes in a rainbow of colors too... you can fancy up your sticks by doing colored heat shrink tube on the shaft to match your cab.
