Title: Joystick Dust Washers *HELP*
Post by: urbecrisch on July 17, 2007, 08:28:41 pm

I just wanted to know if anyone had 2 dust washers lying around they could donate to my project.  I'm trying to finish a CAB for my friend on Saturday and I won't be able to complete the CP without the washers.  I'm looking for RED preferably but will settle for BLACK.  I've searched online but the cheapest I have found would be $15.00 shipped!  I think that's ridiculous for a pair of washers so any help would be great.  I will pay for the washers and shipping but I'm sure they can just be shipped in a standard envelope so it shouldn't be a hassle for anyone to ship out.  PM me if you're willing to part with your unused washers.  Cheers!

Maybe just cut some out of vinyl or poster board or something? It might take some brainstorming and fiddling, but in the end, it's just a plastic washer. I'm sure you could do a professional DIY job with minimal effort and no expense.

divemaster stocks them for $2/ea I think, and I'm sure he could mail them in an envelope for you. If I had some, I'd hook you up. Sorry!

Red ones are nonstandard, but black ones are plentiful, I am sure one of the parts hoarders around here should have some extra black ones.
