Looks like this. If you have it, could you please reply with the height of the handle itself (plastic grip), preferably in inches. If you're bored and want to take other dimensions as well, I welcome any info... Photos from the side would be great!
Thanks! :)

Here you go:
Measuring from base of shaft straight up to the height of the highest point - 6 13/16 inch
Measuring from base of shaft diagonally to hightest point - 7 3/16 inches
Hole in bottom of base accepts 3/4 inch shaft.
Happ recently started selling this and their other analog sticks with the base shown in your pic- but they used to come with the big spring assembly on the bottom, like mine. The base of the stick, from the top of the mounting plate to the bottom of the mounting bolts (that's the base only, without the big spring assembly) measures 3 inches.
Add in the big spring assembly and it goes 5 inches.
I dunno what other measurements you might need, but feel free to ask for more!
I couldn't get the base and the handle in the one pic, because the control panel they're mounted in blocks the view. And yes, that's a 2nd stick in the background, the panel is from "Cybersled", a tank game.

Thanks Kremmit! Just to clarify, are the "shaft" measurements above referring to the entire portion of the stick (grip+exposed shaft) that is above the mounting plate, or just the height of the plastic grip itself? Reason being I want to mount the handles onto a competition with heavy springs as a possible alternative to the dual tron sticks, so shaft measurments don't apply to what I'm doing. I am running into problems with space in my revised rotating design, so the tron sticks might have to go. To tell the truth, I was actually looking for this style of grips originally, before I knew you could order individual parts from Happ...

Oops- should have said "measuring from base of handle", not base of shaft. I measured just the grip halves, not the exposed shaft.
If you're looking to pick some of these up, send me a pm, as I bought these primarily for the analog bases, and was actually thinking of changing out the grips. They need a good cleaning, but are otherwise in good shape, no cracks or gouges, and only a few light scratches near the base of the handles.

1UP,
The dual Tron stick panel is one of my favorite parts about your cab.
I think you'd be doing it a HUGE injustice sticking a couple of those ugly gray things on it.

I may not have a choice. It depends on how many orders I get, versus how many Tron handles Tom can crank out. You might get stuck with Happ ugly gray Tron handles if anything...

You could set that up as a premium item for the cab. With the premium it also takes longer to get your kit. ;)
