Trying to mount T-Stik in a metal CP?

<< < (2/2)

Jabba:
I looked at my website where I documented my build. From it I foiund this...

I used the 1/4" to cut the holes for the carriage bolts as I am using 1 and 1/2 inch 1/4 carriage bolts to mount the joystick to the CP.   (my CP was 3/4" MDF...).

I had the same problem ... ended up buying brass (was on sale), then roughed it up a bit with with wire brush attachment on the dremel, wiped it down, then primed and finished with spray paint. I kept the coats very light and moved the hinge after each coat. No problems to date, but then I haven't opened any of those panels much.

Cheers.
