Where to buy handlebar buttons
« on: August 26, 2003, 11:16:42 pm »
I have a Sega HangOn steering assembly and would like to add a button to each side of the handlebar so I can play "Paperboy" and other games which require a handlebar with buttons.  

Would anyone know where I can get such a clamp with buttons so I can attach it and use it?

The picture below shows a HangOn which was on Ebay a long time ago which has the buttons I am looking for.....I asked the seller but he had no idea where they came from....

So I guess no one knows where these are sold?  This would be the first time I was not able to find a solution while posting to BYOAC....oh well...

It might be because they aren't sold anymore.

I don't know what buttons are used since I don't have that controller.

Maybe if you took a closer picture of just the buttons someone can see if it was used in other controllers...

Might be your only way... find another that is similar.

The picture I posted was from someone's Ebay posting.   I asked the Ebay'er but he had no idea where the buttons came from.    

Anyway, I am looking for any type of buttons which could be mounted to a handlebar for use in my Mame cabinet.  I do not need those exact buttons in the picture.....that was just to give you guys an idea of what I am looking for...

You can buy cheap single buttons for horns in a bicycle shop. If you want sturdier you can look at handle bar buttons for motorcycle use.  Horn, start  etc.  Maybe a motorcycle salvage yard or acc store.   I have seen usable buttons over the years but have not worked on a motorcycle for 10 or 12 years.
