Another Warthog extension question

I just found this forum post from a while back:

https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/225157-thrustmaster-warthog-extension-and-absolute-aim/

And in it the user shows a metal collar / sleeve that fits over the metal pipe and allows the Gardena collars to grab onto and squeeze whilst screwing onto the joystick & base.

However, after 2 hours of googling, I can't find anything on what these are really called and where to find them.

I'm in the UK too.. if that's relevant or useful.

Please can someone help?

I want to make my own extension rod (either 22mm copper pipe, steel pipe or worst case UPVC pipe) and the Gardena connectors are now available on Amazon UK (finally).

Please can I get some help?

Thanks

Do you know that MFG, Sahaj, VPC (VirPil)... sell ready to use extensions for Warthog?

VPC for example by value that may is less that you will need expend in DIY.

Thank you yes I do know. I’ve bought from two of them but that wasn’t the question I asked.

Hi didnt want to start another thread, what is the optimum "extension" length for the Warthog, I have seen (I think) huey pits with the extension from the floor to the seat, but it seems 10cm is the standard off the shelf extension?

I seem to be forever over compensating on the AV-8B with lots of small inputs and think it may be because an extension is in order.

(points for those who are childmen like myself who snigger at extensions and over compensating).

10-15cm max on the Warthog base is about right Mr. Burns. (In my opinion)

Anything longer than that and the throw is just so far that it feels wrong. The full deflection with a floor height extension would be way wider than your legs would comfortably accommodate.

If you need/desire a bigger extension than that I'd be looking for an alternative base, or building a gimbal of your own.

I have a 17.5 cm (approx) which are two of Milan's extensions. It feels pretty good to me. But I ave it on a base. I have to have it floor mounted so I can swap it out with a cyclic
