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?

Yes. I put the extra e-ring slot in for those who might have a metal CP. For this setting, you would remove the upper white spacer.

I, uh... broke 2, 2, 2 sticks in one. I took the red top off of my t-stik plus balltop, and tried to swap it with the dark cherry GGG versa49 balltop. The threads looked the same... I tried to put the red top on the versa shaft... and I broke the shaft off in the red top. I think I also slightly cracked the red ball.. so my pressure was a little over the top. That's what I get for using vice grips. :D. Minwah mentioned taking the top off the J-stick and drilling it out a bit to fit it onto the versa49 shaft.... the t-stik balltop had machined threads in it, so I didn't wanna drill it out, and they looked right. Must have been just barely off.
Don't take this as a statement about the quality of the versa49 shafts... just about the stupidity of yours truly.

If I recall correctly, the T-stik ball is an M6. That translates roughly to .240". The Versa shaft is threaded with good old American 1/4-20 which is .250". It's close, but not close enough. The sharp threads of the Versa shaft probably were cutting as it entered, but when it bound up toward the end, all that force broke the stainless.
I'll replace it at my actual cost. Email me if you are interested.

I just got my Saphire blue ball top. Thank you very much, it looks great.
I have a question (from a previous thread) And I have searched to no avail
>>>>
Does anyone know if a standard Versaball replacement joystick from www.groovygamegear.com will work with a wico leafswitch joystick?
The website says it is compatible with Happ Super & Competition and I thought competitions would work in a Wico so.........
I'd like to have a matching ball top on my Wico

Sorry, but I'm pretty sure this won't work. At least not without some modification to something here or there.
Do a search on the board here. I'm pretty sure this came up at one time, but memory isn't what it used to be.
