Title: Joystick handle hole diameter?
Post by: thecheat on May 19, 2009, 11:50:57 pm
Looked around a lot by searching and in the wiki, but I couldn't find my answer. What is the diameter of the hole for the stick handle on a Competition joystick? 1.125"?

Well yes, but I need the diameter of the hole where the shaft passes through the control panel. I don't want to go too big and not have the dust washer cover the hole. If I make it too small it's going to be difficult to re-bore with the hole saw and no center line.

If it's dependent on the thickness of the control panel, it's going to be 5/8".

YES! I was looking in the Wiki on joystick mounting and there was no entry. That is precisely what I was looking for! I thought it was 1 1/8 but wanted to be 100% sure before going too far.
