General joystick mounting question

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

brophog:

1 1/8" works well for most joysticks and all Happs buttons.

zerocle:

yeah thats what i figured, why would happ require you to buy two different size drill bits, and i got my 5/8 " at Lowes, its like a scottsdale home depot, at least thats the way i look at it, they are a little more expensive, but they had what I was looking for.

ahofle:

I could swear I had issues with the shaft touching the wood with 1 1/8" holes but it sounds like it works fine too.  Sorry for the misinformation.  :-[

zerocle:

maybe its because yours is so deep?

ahofle:

That could be as well.  I didn't route out any wood and there is a 1/8" piece of lexan in addition to the 5/8" MDF, so 3/4" total thickness the joystick shaft needs to clear.  Either way, use scrap wood to test everything out before cutting the real CP. :)
