Hole Size for Joysticks
« on: July 30, 2011, 07:58:02 pm »
I've got a couple of competition joysticks from Happ and I am wondering how large I should make the holes on my CP. Can I just use the same 1 1/8" as I do for buttons? Or should I buy another hole saw?

Same should work - check the wiki too, there's a page with info on the particular hole sizes required for different joys.  It's  bit out of date...but...hell...it should be easy to find a close match.
