Default need spektrum parts

Hi, I'm looking for parts for my spektrum dx8 mode 2 so that both sticks self center, unfortunately no one in Australia can help me and horizon hobbies in the US and UK wont help me because I live over here. so I basically need someone that either has the parts or that can contact horizon hobbies and get them sent to them then send them to me.
If can help it would be much appreciated


thanks buzzy

Dont need parts if you have the DX8... your left stick isnt self centered right? on the back peel the rubber grip off and there are 2 screws you adjust to get the already placed spring to work right. At least thats all i had to do to mine... the grip is 2 sided taped on. find the 2 square holes and adjust those. one loosens the ratchet and the other sets the tension for easy play or firmer stick.... hope that helps
