Central MS FFB2 topic - repair, settings and mods

Thanks for the pics Scully.

I just disassembled my X52 and it was no picnic, I cut the wires near the plug in the base, which helped only a very little bit.

I'm taking my sweet time on this but my plan is to keep the X52 base with its buttons , plugs and circuit boards.
If I lengthen the handle wires about 2 feet with a plugin connection in the middle, I can mount the X52 base next to the HOTAS on the desk and keep the XFFB52 on my lap, which works best for me.

I'm looking at making a metal or plastic ferule to connect the shafts.

I know someone who manufactures industrial adhesives, but he would need to know the materials involved.

Does anyone know what type of plastic the FFB2 is made of?

I don't have the stick you mention, but I would think Rovell might be a place to start.
