Title: trim ?
Post by: john p on June 14, 2002, 10:23:14 pm

ive been building some dual joysticks (the hotrod type thing) and my last step before finishing the first one up is the rubber trim around the face edge. where can i get or what exactly is it that everyone uses ?? i was imagining something like the 'T' shaped stuff that is used on the long foldout tables.
that stuff is pretty thin, but ive seen some that is on the thick side. so i cant cut the lexan for the face until i know the trim i have.

thanks,
John

It's called "T-molding".  One place to get it is http://www.t-molding.com/, but it's also sold on Ebay and other places.  I could not find it at Home Depot, Lowes, or local Ace hardware stores.

Happ Control also carries it.... but up to what I remember, t-molding.com has more choices...

but if you're going to do it, you'll need either a router or a dremel tool to cut that "crack" to fit the t-molding in...

good luck...    ;D
