Hi, im fairly new to this forum and i was wondering about the happ joystick part # 50-7604-10. I have 2 of these but i want to put them in my MKII cab, but there only 4 way joysticks... is there any way i can convert them to 8 way joysticks? |

According to Happ, that part # is a 4-way Ultimate. I'm afraid it won't convert to 8-way, unless you want to try taking a file to the joystick base and making the hole the shaft goes into round. |

Hmm...well i guess it wouldnt hurt trying since i was givin the joysticks for free :) |

The only difference between the 4-way and 8-way happs ultimate joystick appears to be the actuator. You can replace the round 4-way actuator with the square-ish 8-way, part #95-0267-00, (and remove the 4-way washer/spacer) and be good to go. I could be wrong, though, and you might need to file; I don't have one of these. But happs showns them without any restrictors, so I think I'm right. ;) |

http://happcontrols.com/joysticks/ultimate_joy.htm Have a look at the prices on that page. There's an 8-way model, a 4-way model, and a 2-way model. Show me the two-way actuator. ;D Seriously, they only show the 8-way model in the mounting diagram, and it can be used with either actuator, just like the other Happ joys. But they also sell a dedicated 4 way and 2 way version, and they are truly restricted. But there's no visible restrictor to show in that diagram, because it's not a separate part- it's built into the joystick base. Bacically, the round hole the shaft pokes out of isn't round on the 4 way model. I've got one in the parts closet, but I can't get to it to dig it out for a photo op, because there are 50 games stacked in front of it. (somebody, click my sig and buy some games, please. I need space around here.) Maybe Mufasso can snap a pic of his. |
