CP Joystick hole gouged my 49-way joystick handle

Pages: (1/3) > >>

Brewser:

Man this sucks. I drilled out a 1 1/2" hole for the 49-way joysticks on my CP and with the long throw on the 49-way's it still hits the edges of the joystick hole. This has caused gouging into the plastick of the joystick handle. I have recently noticed my dust cover is getting clipped by the indent that has been made by hitting the edges of the joystick hole.
Anyone else have this problem? Can you order metal rod joysticks for the 49-way sticks?
Thanks

Timoe:

How thick is your Control Panel?

Mine is 1/2" where the 49 way is mounted and I only drilled a 1 1/4" hole.

Uh oh, I hope I dont have the same problem.

Hey Timoe,

I've also got a 1/2" control panel with a 1 1/4" although to be honest I haven't mounted my joystick yet, so I haven't had a chance to play with it .I'll let you know the results when I get around to mounting it to see if I have any similiar problems

Kremmit:

RandyT says GroovyGameGear will have metal handles soon.

Brewser:

my CP is 3/4 thick. The metal handles will work much better.
