Replacing spinner on a Slikstik classic with a GGG spinner?
Shoegazer:
Is this possible? I understand the mountings on the GGG spinner match the standard Happ button mounts, but I'd really like to take one of these Groovy gears for a spin. (groan all you want, I thought that was pretty clever). ;)

With a little modification you could attach a beer tap to your slickstick control panel... :cheers:
...OF COURSE you can modify your panel to accept anything you want! Drop out the SickSlick spinner, cut the hole to standard button size, drop in the turbo twist 2 (with IT's optical board)... attach to PC...Vrooooom!
Now...that said...I have to ask...unless you are having problems with your SlickSuck spinner, why mess around with it? You have already made it through the tough part with SuckSuck...that is GETTING the product. By pretty much all accounts, once you GET the product, you are golden, the SlickPrick products are quality.

Thanks for the tips, yeah I'm a little green at the DIY stuff (though that is changing, slowly) but what you're saying makes perfect sense. I thought the GGG hole was actually SMALLER than the hole made for the SlikStik spinner (since I have yet to take the chassis off of the panel), but I see what you're saying now.
I'd be interested in replacing what I have due to the higher resolution on the GGG spinner plus all the great extras (steering wheel being one) that are just not possible with the original SlikStik classic spinner.

The GGG hole is 1 1/8 inch and the Tornado has a 1/4 inch hole. The GGG takes a much bigger hole. The mounting bracket on the Tornado is under the CP and only the shaft stick thru.

I did this by using a step-bit drill bit to enlarge the hole to accomodate the GGG spinner. Worked great. I just plugged the other mounting holes with carriage bolts and everything looks great.
