Arise long dormant thread!!
Normally I'm not one to necro posts but rather than starting from scratch its probably better to continue on this discussion.
Last week I had an A-10A throttle quadrant arrive, sadly my source is out of good condition ones so mine has a cracked face plate as well as a missing speed brake switch. Still it is quite the piece of work. I wanted to catch up with both Nameless and Hempsted to see where you all are at on your conversion projects.




If anyone has suggestions for finding a replacement speedbrake switch please let me know in case my source really is totally out of them. Sadly I missed the last pair of F-15 right throttle handles on ebay a few weeks back, I hadn't run across the A-10 throttle quadrant to use with them at the time and couldn't justify holding on to one with no purpose in mind. I'd like to modify this closer to the A-10C right throttle so if there is a source for the boat switch I'd be grateful. With no immediate access to a 3d printer I'm scrounging hard to find one along with the two hat switch ends that I need to restore the AH-64A collective and cyclic grip in the back ground.

If you need something like this



It can be done, I 3D printed knobs for my SFS conversion.

I used Honeywell switches, cut levers in half and secured knobs with set screws. If you can provide basic drawings of that knob, I can draw it and put it in my Shapeways store. You don't need a 3D printer at all.

Those are great!! I'm waiting to hear back from my supplier to see what other throttles they have, apparently all are missing something or damaged in some way at this point. Hoping to trade this one back for one with speed brake switch and something missing that is more easily accessible such as one of those knobs.

Who is your supplier? I am looking for switches, mostly otto pushbuttons.

I also have one of these throttle controls. The mic switch is missing. Does anybody know where I can find one?

Alright, I am awakening this very dormant thread to ask the following questions:

Did anyone get one of these working?

Does anyone have one that they have given up on and would part ways with? I'd pay good money to get a real one working in my cockpit.

If not, can anyone that got their hands on one measure the length of the post that the handles are on for me? I plan on taking an angle grinder to a thrustmaster throttle to make them taller.

Cheers legends!
