Randy, does your store accept Paypal?

Randy,
Any chance of a dimension drawing of the Leaf-Pro joystick?
How long is the shaft? and is there a short option?
Also, photo of bottom with/without restrictor?
Also, is all the centre return force supplied by the leaf spring?
I'm think of using it for switchable 4way and 2way, plus I need to get my Defender reverse button close to it (shame the leafs aren't mounted in the opposite sense)

The mounting holes are 60mm on center, square pattern. The stick is short by default. The restrictor is top mounted, not bottom, so switchable restriction isn't really an option. Centering mechanism is a spring. The leaf switches provide no centering assistance, nor is it necessary for them to.
I can make a special 2-way version which would work very well for Defender. However, you still have the challenge of getting the button close to the stick. It could be done, but would require cutting out a section of the base. It's not a practical exercise to make a 2-4-8 way stick where a Defender stick is concerned, due to the reverse button position requirements.

Do you think think the plastic actuator sleeve is man enough to be used in a restrictor? I've found pictures of similar sticks showing the actuator is an open cylinder at the bottom end.
What I'm thinking is I could cut off the 4 pillars and attach 4 new solid blocks where I want them (using the inner set of holes). And fix restrictors onto those.

That would be a lot of modification. It can be done the way you show, but you would be hard pressed to make a restrictor which would work properly based on the diameter of the actuator. The larger the diameter of actuator, the less likely that good restriction is possible using it. If you replace the actuator, it's possible.
