Putting together a joystick, what am I doing wrong?

tiny update, just for shits and giggles, I tried putting the shaft through without the pivot cylinder and it went all the way through.

Will these sticks worth well without the pivot cylinder? 'course, this doesn't solve the problem with the actuator.

severdhed:

 you need to have the pivot cylinder.    does the pivot cylinder fit through the hole in the washer?  what happens if you assemble the stick without the washer?    i'd slide the washer onto the shaft, then the pivot cylinder, then stick it through the hole in the base, attach the actuator..then apply firm pressure on the actuator so that you can get the eclip installed.

Yes the pivot cyl does fit through the washer, so the order there is unnecessary. Also, the actuator doesn't look like it will move any further.

This is very strange. Do you think i got parts for 2 different sticks?

One small thing I noticed, I dont know if it's significant is that the picture of the shaft in the diagram does not match my actual shaft. The picture shows a 2 groove shaft, whereas I have a 3groove shaft.
