U360 - Best way to tighten joystick?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Ginsu Victim:
I inserted a flat head into the end, tightened the ball, and that's it. It NEVER comes loose.

Franco B:
I was going to say a screwdriver in the base should sort it out as you can apply much more torque that way than you are likely to apply when using the joysticks.

Threadlocker is often used on cabs on location but it shouldn't really be necessary for home use unless you have unsavory friends ;)

Ed_McCarron:
Blue loctite?

Franco B:
Seriously, stick a screwdriver in the end, hold the ball in your hand, tighten as much as you can.

Problem solved.

The only way you can then remove the ball/bat is if you can grip the shaft tighter with your hand than you can with a screw driver in the slot.

Fair enough if you are a 7 stone weakling then maybe some blue locktite maybe the solution for you (you may have to ask a strong friend to remove the cap though) :) 

[Just FYI, please keep the first sentance in context with this thread!]

Really not necessary. Hand-tightened plus a screwdriver is all one needs.
