Extending Shaft (JL-S9F Shaft ) Size?

Tech Talk
1

I was just wondering if it is possible to extend the length of a JL-S9F Shaft by a 1/4 inch via an attachment (adapter, etc) or procedure? Essentially, I’m looking to adjust/increase the shaft for the stick on my stand without cutting into the wood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Note currently using the Sanwa adapter for the bat top

-Thanks

Off topic, but when I saw the name of the thread I just LOLed!

ive seen someone add a nut under the balltop. seems like this would solve your problem?

I’ve done this before, it works, but it gave me blisters on my fingers, hurt like a bitch.

I wanted to bump this as i’ve run into a problem…

I just mounted a Sanwa JLF inside my anneversary edition stick. Unfortunately due to the thickness of the top, the ball sits uncomfortably low. I would prefer not to use a nut as suggested since it is uncomfortable and looks wack.

Does anyone know of any replacement for the JL-S9F that is slightly longer?

they dont exist

im sure you can find a machine shop that will make you one

it might be pricey

That sucks, but thanks for the info.

My other idea is to just drop a ball bearing or something into the ball top so it can’t screw down all of the way but will still tighten well. Although if any threads are showing that might be as annoying as the nut.

have any friends that can weld?

machine shop. goto a local high school or something. this can be cut in like 5 minutes. or look up machine shop and see whats near your area.

Best bet is to find a local metal working shop, one that does industrial designs, but also custom for individuals. They should be able to take a Rod of metal, thread the bottom with the same specs as the top of the JLF, and then reproduce the same that’ll screw into the balltop.

I’ve had this done before for a motorcycle part.
