Broken gimbal
-
You might be able to repair your gimbal with a suitable metal-bonding epoxy glue. There are some really good glues these days and it would get you back flying until a suitable replacement part is sourced.
Just a thought

Are you in the USA?

I live in The Netherlands, think shipping might be expensive from US. Let’s see if something closer by pop’s up. If not I know were to find you Thanks!

You said you arent looking for a gimbal replacement… but for what its worth, Id recommend an FCC3. The cougar is barely worth using without it tbh.
-
I’m aware that several mods exists that make the gimbal obsolete but that’s not what I’m looking for.
gofrm @ Blu3wolf, you might want to read this part again from the 1st post

I read it. My point was that if you have a Cougar and are not looking for a replacement for the gimbals, you should be.
I had thought my acknowledgement of OPs position made my awareness of that position pretty clear, but to reiterate; the cougar is barely worth using without a force sensing mod.

I need them to so I can use again my hotas cougar again.
Are there stil replacments or modded gimbals to buy? -

I agree wholeheartedly, and disagree entirely…
I found with my FSSBR1 if I was flying the F-16 it worked beautifully, but for other types and other sims (I still fly Longbow2 for example) the force sensing stick was no good at all, and actually acquired a Top Gun USB for these lesser sims. For pilots on a budget who fly other than BMS, there are other more suitable options, IMHO.
My FSSBR1 modded Cougar is currently on it’s way to Greece to take up residence in Morgan’s cockpit. I can live without it now.
