elecsys Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 May I ask, what is the reason for the lack of straight extensions with VKB joystick bases? Being limited to a single curved 20cm extension doesn't exactly help to make VKB bases the most versatile option on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elecsys Posted November 15, 2019 Author Share Posted November 15, 2019 Thanks for the link! You are very resourceful man, you always have the answers :D I do wish that VKB would offer them in 50, 75 & 100mm variety though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streakeagle Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I found a source of aluminum tube that is close enough in dimensions that I am making my own extensions. I need to use the ends/wiring from an existing extension to complete them, but it is very straight forward: 1. Cut tube to desired length (1 inch O.D. with 1/8 inch wall thickness is what I think I bought, the stock ends fit snuggly enough not to wiggle at all). 2. Remove ends from existing extension (preferably an extension as long or longer than the length you need so you don't have to extend the wiring between the ends). 3. Make templates for holes from existing extension. 4. Use templates to mark holes on new extension. 5. Drill out holes on new extension. 6. Install ends.
