Adjustable Magnetic Detent for Thrustmaster TWCS Throttle

Important: I've made this to work with 5mm "Buckyball" magnets since that's what I had lying around. So you will need two of those if you don't want to do some drilling.

I was disppointed with the lack of innovation from the community when it came to modifying the Thrustmaster TWCS throttle with an afterburner detent. Others have done it before, sure, but they're ugly and fixed. Being made from something like sugru or velcro pieces.

So I've made my own detent. Not only that but it's the first thing I'm publishing, since I imagine there are some others that would want one of these for their throttle.

This detent can be adjusted in position along the throttle's travel without needing tools and the adjustable magnet will stay in place even during use. Your results might vary, so if it's too loose there are holes for M3 bolts and nuts so you can tighten it a bit.

I used hot-glue to fix the upper magnet holder to the throttle handle, and to attach the rail to the base. I did not use glue to hold the magnets in. They are meant to be free-floating so they can align with each other.

There are two different adjustable magnet holders. One with a narrower hole.
I used the wider one, but you can use the narrower one if you want more clearance between the two magnets. This will weaken the magnetic force.
