Title: HOTROD PSD?
Post by: sharpfork on November 03, 2014, 05:10:58 pm
I picked up a hotrod joystick I'm gutting and reworking.  I'd like to have some graphics printed on vinyl and am wondering if anyone has a photoshop (or EPS) template for this stick kicking around.  The googles were no help but my google-fu is not strong.  Thanks!

this isnt posted to sound like a dick, but whats stopping you from measuring everything and making a template? Might help the next guy with the same issue

I was hoping to be the "next guy".   ;)
Also, I don't fully trust my capacities to measure the thing correctly and get it into Photoshop just right.

If you could post the measurements ( lengths of the various edges and dimensions at approx center of CP for length and width) making the template is the easy part. (but much more difficult without any measurements - ie. from the pic posted it is a bit under actual size as the button holes are not 81 pixels (1 1/8 " ) in diameter ( If resized to fit the button holes to size it seems the CP is about 19 1/2 inches in length at the back edge - but like I say hard to determine without a few measurements to go by)

Something close to this but without exact measurements it's hard to be exact -

Measure as best you can , we'll make a template and then you can print it out and see if it needs adjusting  :cheers:

Thanks for the offers.  I'll be unlazy and make my own by measuring and printing to check.

Thanks!
