Crossposting this from SRK:
Hey y'all, I have an arcade machine with a metal control panel, and I would like to put Sanwa parts in it, in place of the existing Happ parts.
A few questions:
So apparently, JLW sticks mount directly into a metal control panel with a HAPP joystick mount. Thing is, I'd rather fit JLFs in my cabinet. I'm thinking I would order two JLFs, and two JLW mounting plates, remove the JLF plates, and put the JLW plates on them. Will this work, or does the JLW plate not fit into the 4 screw holes around the JLF?
I borrowed some MadCatz buttons from a SE stick that my friend modded with Sanwa parts, to test the buttons' fitment in my control panel. They actually fit (although they don't actually snap in since the total thickness is probably about 5mm), but I think the little exposed clip about halfway down on either side catches on the sides of the holes in my control panel, because the button won't pop up.
This is the part that I think is getting stuck:
And this is the result (my pic):
Since the buttons wouldn't snap in, it's wise to say I'll get screw-in buttons instead. This could kill two birds with one stone, since I read on Slagcoin that the diameter of the OSBN-30 is slightly smaller than the OSBF-30 (which the MadCatz buttons are a clone of).
Slagcoin says OSBF-30's use a hole 30.3mm in size, and the OSBN-30's use a hole 29.5 mm in size, so assuming the holes in my control panel are 30.3mm, the OSBN-30's would have an extra .8mm of wiggle room inside my control panel's button holes. Do you guys think that's enough extra space to have that part not get stuck? If not, I can just get a semicircular file and widen the holes in my control panel, but I'd like to avoid doing so if possible.
