Anyone got a Super or Sanwa stick? Need dimentions please.

Im making some more stainless dust washers for a couple of people tomorrow. Has anyone got a Happs Super and/or a Sanwa stick that you could measure and post the shaft diameters? The diameter I am after is the one shown on the pic at the bottom of the post.

If anyone else wants any washers let me know before tomorrow and I will be able to get them sent off tomorrow afternoon. I can also make some next week but it just means you will recive them later. They are $10 per pair. Shipping to the USA from the UK is $4 for one pair or $5 for two.

If you have a stick apart from a Wico can you please send me the shaft diameter or the diameter of the hole in your current washer.

Thanks.

I can get measurement tonight (super) if no-one responds sooner.  Do you want the diameter of the metal shaft or the plastic sleeve?  On a super the dust washer goes around the plastic sleeve.

Thanks mate.

Thats a good point. If you can give me the diameter of the plastic sleeve or the diameter of the hole in the plastic washer that would be great.

I can tell you the diameter of the shaft of a super is 10mm.

The dust washer measures:
2 1/8" total (or 54 mm)
5/8" inside diameter (or 16mm)

My measurements were in inches, then converted to mm.

Also, the circumference of the washer is tapered.

Here is a 300dpi scan of the Ultimarc J-Stik washer.  It says Sanwa on it, and it is my understanding that these are Sanwa sticks.

You can measure it in Photoshop or print it out and measure the print.

I haven't found my caliper yet, so I can't measure the shaft until I find it.

Franco, I notice from your other thread that you used T-Stik's for your cab. The plastic sleeves and dust washers of the Happ Super and the T-Stik are exactly the same size. This is not surprising as the two joysticks are made by the same manufacturer (www.industrias-lorenzo.com). On IL's old website the sleeves and washers even had the same part numbers on the exploded diagrams.

You cannot trust somebody else's printer to print a pic exactly the same size as it comes out on your printer.  Nor can you trust a different piece of software to print the same size on the same printer.  Nor can you trust a different user to click exactly the same options on the same software on the same printer.  Or your scanner to scan exactly to actual size.

I'd be leery of working from that without at least one known dimension to check your print size against.

Leave some slack if you go from the sleeve.  If the washer's too tight, it'll bind and stick to the sleeve, and ride up.  When you use a plastic one that's too tight, no problem, you just drill it out.  With stainless, not so easy.
