Randy/Anyone,

Are you able to provide some details on how to modify the actuators for those of us 'stuck' with Happ Comp joysticks where the actuator rotates with the joystick?

I have 4 doing the same thing, bought from 3 different sources. :(

The process is simple, just opening up the ID, but the requirements from a tooling standpoint are unfortunately high.  Most don't have a 9/16" drill bit / reamer and a drill press, but that's the minimum equipment required to make the mod.

I'm guessing you didn't buy any of them from GGG, but regardless, if you want to send them to me a with a stamped, self addressed manila envelope so I can just ream them and throw them back into the mailbox, I'll help you out.

Any chances on selling any + shipping? :D I have some coming in and I don't believe they'll be fixed (from Divemaster). The last set I got from him were like this also, I thought it was weird but didn't really question it until this thread.

Edit: I'd be in for about 6 of them if so. :)

Hahaha, I was just about to type "no I didn't" when I realised... wait a sec, yes I did... I bought two of the blue ones from you around March/April timeframe when I visited the US... they've been sitting in a box since then and I brought them out when I started building some desktop joysticks the other day.

I do have a drill press, but 9/16 is 14.2mm... which is a pretty odd metric measurement.  Is there a danger of boring them out too much? How precise does it have to be?

Return postage to the US would be a bit of a pain though... I'll have a think about what I can do.
