Author Topic: J-Stick and T-Stick mounting dimensions... (Read 2940 times)

Smack · « **on:** June 08, 2003, 01:40:37 pm »

I just ordered a pair of J-sticks to replace my T-Sticks. (I got a little tired of the feel of the T-Sticks.)

Are the mounting holes the same or does it look like I'm gonna have to re-drill some new panels?

Thanks!

If memory serves me right they are not exactly the same. You could email Andy (I assume you ordered them from ultimarc). He usually has very detailed diagrams of his products.

I just asked this question (hey you wanna ditch/trade/sell you t-sticks, btw?)... my understanding was that J-sticks had "normal" mounting holes (i.e. happs/wico/il whatever) but the t-stick didn't (according hyiu) so I asked Andy for the dimensions of T-stick and he sent me this diagram (attached)

But it's in centimeters -> my intension was to convert it to inches and measure some generic joystick bases and see if they were a drop in replacement...

I know that doesn't really answer your question, smack... but I think this image is the keymaster and if we find the gatekeeper... we'll uh.. get zuul or gozer or something. =P

There is no Rampy only Zuul!

Will a 1 1/8" bit be fine for drilling a hole for the T-sticks?

I wouldn't see why not *shrug* it's a pretty standard size (for joystick holes...) the worse case scenario I've heard of is (in general) to use a 1 1/4" hole... but i haven't come across that personally in my limited experience...

The J-Stick has 2 sets of mounting holes. The outer holes fit the standard Wico/ Happs placement. It also has a set of inner oval holes that will line up with T-Stick dimensions.

Simply put, mint....

Rampy - I'm gonna hang onto them, I'm smelling another project coming on... Of course, should laziness creep in, I'll drop you a line.

Yes, a 1-1/8" hole is fine for T-sticks, that's what I use. The palstic ring covers the hole entirely, and the shaft doesnt come into contact at all with the sides.

Again - mint...

No excuse, that page has been on our site for at least two hours! (LOL)
