The JB weld has dried and the bushings are now fixed in place so tonight I reamed out the bushings in the control stick frame in order to install the sticks. I was warned to be very carefull as a tiny bit too much will cause play in the sticks, therefore I started with the passenger side first, It won't bother me too much if I have some play there. And yes as it turned out I went a little too far on the first one, I've got a tiny bit of play on the passenger side stick, but not enough to worry about, the left one (mine) turned out perfect though. Next I need to drill the sticks in place.
