Title: Making the J-stick stiffer?
Post by: HeadRusch on May 15, 2003, 02:08:17 pm

soundin dirty again... ;D

Seriously, the Jstick is cool, but its spring tension is pretty light..any way to make this thing every so slightly stiffer?  Its my dedicated 4 way in the center of my CP :)

I took apart the j_stick before.... the inside is quite compact...

unlike Happs Super / Comp... Happs does sell a heavy duty spring as replacement....

maybe you want to send an email to Ultimarc and see if he has a HD spring ??....

good luck...

I seem to remember Andy making a post not long ago which said that if you take out the spring, and then stretch it, it stiffens up the feel of the stick...

You could probably go to Home Depot and get a replacement spring for it.  I did the same thing for my E-sticks and it worked great.
