TinyDancer Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Well my Orion 2 Max order came in today, seven days from placing the order in case anyone else wondering about time frame. I got the throttle put together and installed onto my desk mount. I've got the stick 99% put together. My issue is I seem to missing the set screw referenced on page seven. https://wwsimstore.com/static/assets/files/en/JOYSTICK GRIP OF F-16 H.O.T.A.S-User MANUAL EN V 1.0.pdf There is no way I am going to bother asking WinWing to send a set screw from China to California. Does anyone know the pitch and length I need? AMD 5800X3D | 3090 FTW3 | 64GB RAM | NVMe | Winwing Orion 2 | TrackIR 5

MAXsenna Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 To not ask WW is your prerogative, while back in the days (90s), TM would always send me new springs over the pond while they were still TM.Always considered myself a customer for life, alas. Sent from my MAR-LX1A using Tapatalk
BuzzU Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 I'd ask WW for size. All you really need is the thread pitch. It will be metric. You can measure the length. Try a hardware store. 1 Buzz
AlpineGTA Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 Are you saying you have the short screw but you don't have the long one? I measured the length of both; the short one is 1" long and the long one is 1 3/8" long. Or approx. 25mm & 35mm. I don't know the diameter and pitch though, sorry. If you have the short one you could take it to a hardware store, as the previous poster said, and match it. They usually have a gauge of threaded holes along the shelf in the nuts & bolts section where you can try your screw to find the correct pitch. You just need to find one 1 3/8" long. 1 i5-11600K CPU, 64GB DDR4 RAM, XFX Speedster MERC319 AMD Radeon 6900 XT, Oculus Quest 2, HP Reverb G2
TinyDancer Posted June 1, 2023 Author Posted June 1, 2023 Thanks guys. Turns out the mounting screws that came with my base plates actually thread into the locking collar, so I'll be able to get it buttoned up tomorrow. 1 AMD 5800X3D | 3090 FTW3 | 64GB RAM | NVMe | Winwing Orion 2 | TrackIR 5
