My impression is that all the joysticks are the same length, they just have different diameter spheres on top.   But I also am under the impression that there is some ability to adjust the height depending on which e-clip ring you use.

I don't know what the final height above CP is, but I guess it depends on: Which joystick you're using, which e-clip ridge you use, how thick your CP is and (in a sense) how big the "ball" is on top (because a larger diameter would appear to 'shorten' the stick.)

Maybe there's something on the GGG page (or even in this thread) that has the specs for total length and where the e-clip ridges are cut.  With that (and info about the joystick which will house the stick) you/I/we could figure out exactly how tall they are for any of the above combinations.

I'm just guessing that I'd like one for my MsPac joy which (if mounted under 3/4" wood) will barely clear the top of the CP.  I'd also like one with a 1-1/2 or 1-3/8 ball since the 1-1/4 ball top on the MsPac joy looks like a toy compared to my Wico Leaf ball tops.

Hey Randy,

I just received the versa-ball shafts that I ordered and although they look very cool I was a little bummed.  I have a quarter inch plywood panel so the stick is too long for me.  I would like my sticks to look completely retro.  I am using a happ super base.  Can send them back to be customized?

Wow, 1/4" is thin!  The sticks were't designed for that (take a look at the descriptions of the product for specifications on panel thickness.)

However,  too long is a much better problem to have than too short.  One way you can fix this is to make a 5/8 to 3/4" thick spacer that goes between the joystick base and the underside of your panel.  Then just use long enough hardware to go through everything and you'll be all set.

We can't really do a one-off mod to the stick, but I will certainly accept a return on the product if you decide that it doesn't suit your needs.

Just let me know what you would like to do.

RandyT
