                @johnnyboy

                Because you like hearing from me and like dropping my name

                You know, if you build a frame that extends past the edge of the box that will contain the monitor, you can effectively hide the joystick and not have to johnnyboy around with the wiring. :wink:

                Now, looking at your pictures closely, (I counted the 8 wires and the 8 pins) I would say that each of the eight wires of the harness connect to only one pin each via the clip connector on both the monitor circuit board and the joystick circuit board. With that, and IMHO, I would say that you can lengthen each wire, being careful to match the gauge of the wire as closely as possible. Also, being careful to splice the correct wires to each other. I would use shrinkwrap/crimp connectors for the splicing for proper connection and insulation.

                Seeing as you’ll only be extending these wires a few inches (from what I can see) you won’t encounter any resistance problems or degradation in performance of the joystick.

                Peace bro . . .
