RandyT,  Have you already had a bunch of these pre-made, or is it possible to have them made without the additional 1/4" at the end?

These have already been manufactured in a relatively large quantity.

This seems like a simple problem to fix, however.  Just take the top spacer that originally came with the joystick and cut off a 1/4" chunk. Sand it down to about .165" while making the side you cut nice and square.  Add this to the spacer at the top and all should be well.

You may want to test fit it a couple times during the sizing (sanding) process to make sure you don't go too small.

I don't own one of the adapter kits, so I don't know for sure that this would work, but I don't see any reason it shouldn't.  It'll also make the stick a little taller, which may or may not be a good thing depending on your preference.

Are you talking about the black sleeve that sits above the plateform?  If so, that sleeve is already on the shaft.

Nope.  I'm talking about the small white one you removed from the joystick originally so you could replace it with the longer black one in the kit. 

That one isn't still on there too, is it?

fl0yd:
It shouldn't be still on there.  If trimming that one down works, I should be able to have my plastics guy make me some of the exact lengths needed.  Then I could just toss them in the kit and it would work for either shaft.

markrvp:
Correct, the only sleeve underneath the plateform is the new white one from fl0yd.  So, cutting the short one down should work.

Next question:

If you weren't using fl0yd's adapter, then is it possible to remove the black sleeve above the plateform and use the higher E-clip ring to make the balltop sit closer to the CP?
