Happs 3", high-lip trackball question

Pages: << < (3/4) > >>

Kremmit:

If that's your problem, you ought to consider just getting the part Quarterback posted up above.  That's the upper plastic piece U_Rebel posted the pic of.  You can just replace the top part of your TB and get the higher lip without trying to make that epoxy look perfect.  I may have one I can trade you for your existing normal-lip part; check your PM.

Ok, I must be going insane here. I have 2 regular happ trackballs, and a couple of weeks ago I was thinking that it would be nice if they were high lip.

I was thinking this exact same thing, and then this thread came along and gave me confirmation. I had checked everything out. I looked at the mounting and exploded views. The high lip and regular trackballs used different parts, and they had different dimensions. The high lip model showed a .19" lip and the regular showed .12". That is roughly 3/16 and 1/8 respectively. So everything was as it should be, until...

Today I go to happ's site to double check the part # and everything is totally screwed up. It now shows that both the high lip and the regular trackball use part 95-0565-00 as the top portion of the assembly. The mounting view also shows that they both have the exact same mounting dimensions, with a .12" lip. WTF. They are actually using the same same exact mounting picture under both items. So I thought that they might have accidentally put the regular trackball mounting and exploded pics under both urls, but they didn't. It has 2 different exploded views that show them as having the same part #'s. I don't what the hell is going on.  :hissy:

Any ideas?
