There are also some notes with the photos describing what I did. The guy I bought the assembly from doesn't have a knob-less joystick any more. He only has a complete unit. Actually I think it looks better.

I also had to mill a larger hole out of the joystick holder for the new assembly. Luckily I have a crappy milling machine in the shed but it could be Dremelled.
