Can anybody help with a source for TRON Joystick handles.... Just looking for the plastic clam shell handle parts, not the entire stick. I know there were some similar translucent blue ones posted about a week ago, but they they're not visually 100% TRON Shape.... I'm not worried if they're not 100% TRON internally as I can work on that, and I'm also not worried if they're black, red, blue or yellow with purple spots or even non translucent either. Because I'm planning to cast new ones from them in a tough Polyvinyl Resin. Just as long as they are externally 100% TRON shaped handles. I know that Happs do an almost TRON stick as a complete unit, but they're very expensive for what they are and I'd rather just get hold of the clam shell handle parts and do some hacking myself. All help and advice appreciated. Or alternatively, if anybody has a set of original TRON clam shell handles that they're prepared to lend me for a couple of weeks, I can pull a silicone rubber mold off them and reproduce numerous sets from that for anybody who wants them.

uh, just buy the shell from happs, or ponyboy. you don't have to buy the whole joystick. |

I've had a look and now been back to Happs and had a look again.... But I can't see the plastic shells for the TRON Sticks listed anywhere as a separate item. They do have the left and right yoke grips listed, but I can't see the TRON ones.... Do you have a link for those please?? Best Regards, Julian (Fozzy The Bear) |

I don't have any, but I would certainly buy pretty blue repros. Cheers. |

That's the general idea.... I want a pair of them, but once I've made the molds to create them I might as well offer them to the group as well. I'll also be keeping the cost down to time and materials only. So they should work out to be very affordable. The advantage with Polyvinyl Resin is not only that they're very tough when finished but that it's actually a water clear resin that can have translucent pigments added to it. So Original Blue is very possible, as is any other colour.... Never know somebody might want red ones to match their cab or purple ones or etc etc etc... So if anybody can help out with these.... either a loan of an original set to copy, or have some they would like to sell, or can point me to a source for them at a sensible price then please yell up.
