Title: Wanted Joystick parts or joy stick
Post by: Hawk Daddy on March 20, 2007, 11:26:11 am

I need 3 parts for a joy stick, somehow they didn't come with a MERCS machine that I bought.  I have the knob and shaft part.  i just need the white block piece that goes on the bottom, the silver washer thing I guess you can call it, it's about .25 inch long, and as wide as the joy stick shaft.  and also i'll need the clap on the end.  If some one has these for cheap let me know, or maybe even a new joystick completely.

Snap some pics if you can. I am not sure what joysticks came stock on a MERCS machine, but there might be some replacements readily available.

You need an e-clip, actuator, and tall spacer for a Wico microswitch stick.  The e-clip can be had at any hardware store, the tall spacer is the same as a tall spacer for a Perfect 360 joy, Happ part# 50-0337-00.  I've also found nylon washers at the hardware store that will fit in that application.  As for the actuator, Ponyboy has a bunch of those actuators; in fact, I think he's got the e-clips as well, and he can probably get a P360 spacer, since he distributes Happ parts.  He's probably your best bet for a 1-stop solution, and all-new parts, too.

If that doesn't pan out, I can go digging through my random parts, but it might take me a while to get around to it.
