I'd use some of that quick cure epoxy that the modelers use. Check out the hobby shops for  a good one for plastic. Mix it, apply it, let it set, and file it down to the right size and shape. Good luck!

Great Post guys.  In the same area, my MS FF 2 Stick has a plastic trigger. On the back side of the trigger is a little molded nub that makes contact with an inner button which fires my guns.  Unfortunately that little plastic nub has worn down to the point that it really doesn't depress the inner button anymore.  I've searched high and low for a replacement trigger, but to no avail.  Anyone have any thoughts on how to repair the trigger or rebuild that plastic nub?  My stick works just great except for the worn trigger.

PM nrshida ask nicely he may have a dismantled sidewinder parts sitting around.

You missed out. I had one that was like new that I sold.

Does your trigger look like this Razzor?:-

Bump. Can anyone that knows 'Razzor 479th' give him a nudge, he can have this trigger if he PMs me his postal address. It's surplus to my requirements and like new.

Any Pigs on the Wing reading this? Pass on the message please.

Is there a site where I can order replacement buttons for the FFB2?  My trigger has been inop for quite a while (heavier duty button inside) and Im just about out of spare scavenged buttons (aside from the trigger button) from other older MS joysticks. 

Several years ago a friend sent me a link to such a site, unfortunately it has been long since lost.

Thanks in advance,

No worries mate, I'm just sorry I don't have another circuit to send you. Never did hear if Razzor 479th received the trigger I sent to him.

I might be mad but I think the switches on this one are a different setup, the hat switch is a pole pushed through 4 buttons surrounding it, the pole has worn out but I managed to save it by putting a very fine metal sleeve around it. It needs done I have lost nearly all my views, I think if I had a decent soldering iron it wouldn't be such a pain.



Sadly I am using this unwieldy monster its a pita to use

Yeah that's it. That's the standard approach to the design. Should make a hall effect replacement kit. I bet I could become rich beyond the dreams of average 

Big old industrial iron is that one. You can sometimes get a small one quite cheap. Next time you're in Amsterdam Perv, bring it with you. We can have a curry while I fix it for you
