I need a hollow shaft for a LS-32. I went on Arcadeshop.de and they have them, but I don't want to spend $25 or more (i haven't done the exact math) for a joystick shaft. Any tips on doing this myself? |

Thanks. If I had a drill press I could do it myself I think. It would be pretty difficult to do it with just a hand held drill. |

A drill stand might be better but you have to make sure the shaft is exactly 90°. With a lathe the chance that the drill will break inside the shaft is still very high. Good luck!!! :) |

Did anyone test if these drilled shafts can be used with Bender's trick to make a top fire U360 joystick? I don't need the LED. Thanks. |
