Also available are Aluminum handles from SlikStik.  Very cool.  Literally and figuratively.

yeah l bought 3 blue wico 4" handles for my p360's about 6 mths ago. Let me tell you - the best allround joystick after doing this mod. By the way Ponyboy is brilliant to deal with.

I'm against it. These are too long and too heavy and ugly and ball diameter is too big.

He just wrote back to me and says it will only work on a metal control panel.  :(

Ugly?  I think not!  I got the bat versions, and I like 'em.  Length is appropriate as well.

You might (should) be able to mount the 360 base on the TOP of the CP, instead of the traditional under, if that's the case in order to use those handles.

You want the 4" handles for traditional under-panel mounting with wood, unless you don't mind a shorter stick.  I guess Ponyboy doesn't have 4" left in blue?

I have red ball handle from SlikStik and for me it is ugly and color isn't red, it's purple.

Just wondering if the WICO ball tops screw off?  If so will the ball tops TornadoTerry sells work with them?

How did you install them?  I used everything that you normally would use except for the metal ring, is that what you did?

I believe you'll want (from the top down):

Balltop handle
Dust Washer
Pivot Cone
P360 base
P360 actuator
e-clip

and you can leave out:

Wico actuator
Wico spring (the little one that goes on the shaft above the actuator)

I think it might be possible to get a little extra handle height by using the little metal sleeve(s) and cutting the actuator shorter to compensate, although I've not tried this yet.
