P3 and p4 will never need 4way sticks, and they suck... --- End quote --- Hahaha! No problem, I can send them back, sell them or whatever if there is a clearly better option. I just ordered them, haven't installed them or anything yet |

Any thoughts on how to get my hands on 5/8" MDO? I have called everywhere I know of and the best I can do is a sheet of 15/32" MDO |

It's counterintuitive, but almost all arcade games were done this way and it works better in real life than the way you have it there. Do a google image search for the control panels of gauntlet, the simpsons, nfl blitz, etc and notice where the mounting bolts are on P3 & P4 joysticks. --- End quote --- Did you mean something like this? |

Keep the buttons and joysticks where they were, but rotate the joystick housing so that it is parallel with the back edge of the CP. I know it seems messed up and counterintuitive, but most people are happier with them that way and that's how the original arcade games were done. EDIT: The best policy is always to build a cheap test CP and try stuff out. |
