Tron restrictor on Xenophobe Joy

coasternuts:
Is it possible to replace the bottom restrictor on a Xenophobe joy with a Tron one?  Would it be worth it without the diamond shaped restrictor on top? 

Here is a link to a picture of the restrictor:

Here is a picture of the restrictor on the Xenophobe.  The reason I am asking is that I might be able to get a Tron base unit without the handle, but for around $30.   Is it worth it?

The top part of the Xenophobe has a square opening and the bottom is also square.  Though you can't see that in these pictures,  I want you to see the entire base to see if there is anything else I need to be wary of.

Thanks.

coasternuts.  Did you just buy this joystick on BST forum from a set of 3?  I just recieved what looks like the same type of joystick and was wondering the same thing..
coasternuts:
No, but I did ask him for one.  I got mine of eBay.  ~$31.  I thought he would part with one for the same price so I would have two, one to tinker with.  I didn't get it.

My other thought was to find some galvanized? rubber at  local hardware or automotive store and cut it up to have the diamond restrictor. 

I haven't mounted the stick yet to try it out  without modification, though, I know from previous posts that the light cycle stage will suck with the Xenophobe stick.   But I feel I have to try it anyway.   I like to set myself up for disappointment.   :-\

I swear that Oscar needs to offer restrictor plates again.  They seem more in demand than ever...If you find a solution, post it here.  I'm curious as well.

Could you take another picture of the bottom restrictor with the actuator off.  I'm betting it's possible to switch out the restrictors, but I can't tell from the pictures you posted.  Alternatively, one of these guys with far more experience may no off the top of their head.
