Need help with trigger sticks

[Tony Bag O Donuts]

Hey all.  I just installed two trigger sticks into my control board using two PC Raider Pro joysticks hacked to fit into a Happs Super Joystick base.  I haven't figured out a good way to keep the joysticks from twisting.  Anybody got a good idea how to work this out?

All I did was wrap a total of ~5 layers of clear packing tape around the lower half of the shaft.  The sticks can still turn if forced, but you need a good twist to do so.  I had to wrap each stick differently depending on stuff like if there were any wrinkles or not.  This also helped shim the shaft and get rid on the very slight loose-ness of the stick in the controller and added a small amount of padding.

NOT recomended if you have 6-14 year kids, though, because they might just twist and twist and twist and mess up the wiring.

Great ideas.  Thanks.
