JLF E-Clip

The e-clip attaches to the bottom of your Sanwa JLF series joystick shaft to keep the actuator and spring in place.  Players often lose this tiny component and need to replace the original.

Installation tip

The e-clip is made to hold various components in place, so installing it is a bit tricky.  First, hold down the spring and actuator with your thumbnail.  Second, begin to wedge the e-clip into the JLF shaft groove, located just above the actuator.  With a needle-nose plier, attempt to grasp the rounded edge of the e-clip, and then JLF shaft, then squeeze together.  The e-clip will secure with a snap.

This will be very difficult to do at first, because the eclip must tightly wrap around the shaft groove diameter; you may find that the e-clip will swivel around the groove.
