Weegie Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 The RH hat switch on my Hog throttle is misbehaving and it has always been loose and not too good I'd like to replace the hat with something better, I was looking at the Leo Bodnar but sure there are other solutions available http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_87&products_id=210 Anybody know of something that is physically the right dimensions, better quality and will work? Cheers

Weegie Posted February 15, 2019 Author Posted February 15, 2019 Hi Boris Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not looking for a slew, I have a force sensor installed already What I'm looking for is an improved hat switch for the hat on the side of the RH throttle
Sokol1_br Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I'd like to replace the hat with something better, I was looking at the Leo Bodnar but sure there are other solutions available http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=98_87&products_id=210 Replace the defective* HAT with one from Thrustmaster is the more practical option. Use this from L.Bodnar - or just the Alphs RKJXL switch without this PCB will require some physical modifications in throttle shells. Mouser.com has better HAT (Multi-directional Switch) but since are done for professional use, price is high: https://www.mouser.com/OTTO/Electromechanical/Switches/Multi-Directional-Switches/_/N-5g2z?P=1yyh514&Ns=Pricing|0 * Anyway this original HAT is just 4 micro-switches around a pole, is possible replace just the micro-switches (e.g. by OMRON) depends on DIY skill.
Weegie Posted February 16, 2019 Author Posted February 16, 2019 Thanks for the links Sokol that's appreciated. I may just end up junking the throttle and getting a Virpil, but then if I go down that route I don't want to junk my aftermarket slew, so I'd need to find a way to have it incorporated into something. Perhaps build a button box and incorporate the slew into it.
