From: Don Lancaster on 19 Nov 2009 21:14 Have a Square D joystick with no hardware. The threads are apparently FINE PITCH 30 mm, probably 2.0 pitch. Regular M30x3.5 mm hardware jams. Any sanely priced source of mounting nuts or bezels? -- Many thanks, Don Lancaster voice phone: (928)428-4073 Synergetics 3860 West First Street Box 809 Thatcher, AZ 85552 rss: http://www.tinaja.com/whtnu.xml email: don(a)tinaja.com Please visit my GURU's LAIR web site at http://www.tinaja.com

There will be plenty of helpful people who could turn one up on a lathe for you, even if they haven't already got one. JB

Why not just drop it in a hole and put a plastic tiewrap on the back to keep it in place? The old solution is to hand-chase a soft metal (brass) in a lathe. Good luck finding a craftsman who remembers how to do this as a simple one-off, though.

The tiewrap would have to go on the front and not the back. Not something an eBay buyer would like to see. -- Many thanks, Don Lancaster voice phone: (928)428-4073 Synergetics 3860 West First Street Box 809 Thatcher, AZ 85552 rss: http://www.tinaja.com/whtnu.xml email: don(a)tinaja.com Please visit my GURU's LAIR web site at http://www.tinaja.com

The first number is the diameter, and the second is the length. DOH! |
