OTTO DIY Replacement Stainless Steel Pivot for Original Sanwa Pivot JLF-P-4 Sanwa JLF Series Joystick Pivot / V5 Kit Replaced

The media could not be loaded.  The product worked really well at first. I like how much more snug this felt with a phreaklinks + normal Sanwa stick, but almost immediately a small curl/hole (?) appeared on the top rim. It didn't actually affect anything so I ignored it, and then my stick kinda sat for a while. I got about a months use out of it and it had a 3 month break like that. I just recently had the chance to use my arcade stick and found that other imperfections occured on the opposite side of the edge. The marks are small and hard to see, but ever since the new ones the pivot causes my stick to make an awful noise that sounds like plastic on plastic snapping from inside. Going back to the old plastic Sanwa pivot makes the stick sound normal again so I can only assume it's this given that I also checked my springs, switches, and actuator.I would like to recommend this product, but cannot if it's going to fail on its own with a product it claims to be compatible with. Thankfully it's pretty cheap so I'm not too pressed about it, I hope a V2 comes out with maybe a slightly more round rim to hopefully prevent this. I've attached a video that should hopefully show what I'm talking about. Where the reflection shines more brightly (One on the southeast/bottom right part of the rim and two on the northwest/top left part of the rim) are the specific points I'm talking about.
