Title: 10mm to 6mm balltop adapter
Post by: Dekieon on February 05, 2013, 01:41:21 pm

Hello eveyone I am having an issue with my joystick selections, and could use some advise.
I am planning on getting some Hoku 38mm Ball tops (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/paradise-arcade-balltops/560-hoku-38mm-ball-tops.html). Additionally I am planning on getting some Long JLF Stainless Steel Hollow Joystick Shafts (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/paradise-arcade-custom-parts/421-sanwa-jlf-stainless-steel-hollow-joystick-shaft.html) to replace the solid JLF shafts that will come with my SANWA JLF-TP-8YT Joysticks (http://www.paradisearcadeshop.com/en/sanwa-joysticks/695-sanwa-jlf-tp-8yt-joystick.html) that I plan on purchasing.

The issue is that this ball top has a 10mm thread and the shaft has a 6 mm thread. The description of the ball states that I can use a 10mm to 6mm insert, but they don't seem to sell the adapter, at least I couldn't find them on the site. Another option would be to find a ball top like that that has a 6mm thread, but I have been unable to find one.

Does anyone know where I could purchase a few of these adapters? I tried searching Google and have come up empty.
