Joystick assembly

[SegaAges]

I got my happs competition joysticks, and was looking at them, and how do I make the actuator stay on the bottom?

I am guessing that it is the O Ring, but I am confused as to what I should be doing with the o ring, I just give it a little twist on there?

There should be a couple of cuts in the joystick handle (i.e. the part you grab on to when playing), these are there depending on which spacer you used (the white nylon piece that spaces the joystick handle from your control panel). When you put the joystick handle through the rest of the unit (if it's installed properly) you have to use something (your body works well enough) to holf the joystick handle from moving, use your fingers to puh the actuator down, and you should see one of those notches on the joystick handle appear. Put the e-clip on the notch (a little pressure from your finger usually will do it) and you're all set. It's really not as complex as it sounds, but I tried to make it as easy as possible. Good luck!!!

I'm not sure if this will be the same as the one you have, but most joysticks I've seen are the same. It's the "E-Ring" that holds it all together.

Awesome. I was thinking about the 360's, but for a st-v conversion cab, no real need for them. Yeah, I got those on now.

The cab is starting to look super sick. Just a control panel and some custom side decals and this thing will pwn pretty hardcore.
