Getting ready to build
bicho:
This is the joystick I bought...
50-6084-00 SUPER JOYSTICK,4&8 WAY BRACKET ,HUB,SUB ASSY BLACK SHAFT (happ)
What can I do with it?
Fat_Trucker:
I agree. Its not impossible, but building and mounting your own restrictor you will need to be incredibly precise. I use a T-Stick plus and the difference between the restricted and non restricted setting is tiny.

Also when you say "draw a cross" what does that mean? A 4-way restrictor uses a diamond shape. When you say cross I am thinking of something like an overhead view of a 4-way stop, which wouldn't work at all.
Also, to get this to work the plate will have to be fixed to the joy (or vice versa) so you will need some sort of mounting plan. Oscar used posts welded to the plate that slipped through the joystick holes to keep them accurately lined up with his restrictor hole.
bicho:
Yes, it would be like a 4 way stop. It will slip right under the joystic cover and it would have a hole pattern so that it could only go one way therefore making the joystick a 4 way only. |
