UltraStik U360 Restrictor Plate Kits

<< < (4/5) > >>

Whynotpizza, check the wiki here for the joystick topic. I'm sure it explains 49 way joysticks.

As for how to put the restrictor on, I think it has that slant due to the fact that the joystick will be slanted when it comes in contact with the restrictor. Therefore my guess is the smaller side would go towards the top of the joystick.

Agreed, that is what it appears. However, when you push the stick to one side, the angle lines up with the angle of the restrictor plate better, when the plate is oriented as I have in the picture. So ... I think this is the proper orientation.

BTW...

I am using the optional hard spring (IMHO this is much better and should be used when configuring the U360). I am also using the longer shaft with BAT top (preferred over Ball top). This will enable me to mount under 3/4" MDF on the control panel surface.

Necro:
Bit confused on some of the things I'm reading on this- is the U360 with the default handles (I'm particularly interested in the ball-top) made for a metal CP?  And does the current incarnation of the joystick come with what everyone calls the heavy or the medium spring? 

(Leaning towards this for my cab, but want to be 100% positive before I purchase something this expensive.)

whynotpizza:

The U360 default comes with standard spring. IMHO you definitely need the heavier duty spring (which is an optional purchase).

The default U360 also comes with a standard size shaft, which is ready for Ball Top. I am not familiar with mounting in metal, so not sure how best to answer your question. From what I can tell you probably could get away with buying the default U360 in Ball top config and that should be fine. Certainly get the longer shafts if you want, but my guess is both default and longer shafts for Ball top would work fine in metal control panels, more of a matter of preference than anything. A suggestion would be to email Andy at www.ultimarc.com as he would be very helpful in answering your questions.

TheShanMan:
The longer shafts are only slightly longer, so you probably won't even notice the difference. I went with the longer on my metal panel simply because I put the dust washers below the control panel, resulting in increased depth, so I figured the longer handle would roughly make up for that difference. But in retrospect I think I would have been equally happy with the shorter ones.
