Guys, has there ever been any reproduction of the little end piece that goes at the bottom of the joystick shaft for these?
I noticed that my main gauntlet panel joysticks are probably 1mm too used up (thin). One might even have a small crack.
I'm sure this leads to a slightly longer push needed to get joystick to contact the leaf switch.

Thanks.

Oh yeah, that's the klov member who sold me the t-molding and is selling these other nylon joystick parts:

Those ones are not damaged on my 2 sets of joysticks.
 
Has nobody modeled this so that it could be printed with the proper material?

My Gauntlet could use a set of four of them and there must be other people who wouldn't mind replacing theirs.
 
Durability is the challenge there it seems.

At one time, he made all the delrin parts as a kit (even the one you're looking for). Not sure if he has any left, or if he'd be willing to have more made.

 
Upon looking a bit closer, I realized that it is not just the end ball actuator that may have gotten a bit thin but also the inside of this piece has almost a millimetre missing from usage and probably lack of grease.
