Mounting question on Minigrip Flight Stick
PL1:

the only thing is, these plates may have a different mounting pattern than that minigrip. The mini grip looks to have the smaller japanese mounting pattern so you would possibly need an adapter like paradise arcades sell.

Spacing the joystick down is fine for a ball-top or bat-top, but there's almost no wiggle room on these trigger-sticks.
You'll want a flat plate, especially if you're using plexi on your panel.
They do use the same mounting pattern as an LS-32/Zippyy stick.

This stick has 20mm of clearance on the shaft, below the handle. So should bottom-mount on a 3/4 inch panel with no problems.

Sorry, Andy, but you're calling THAT 20mm of clearance??!!?? :dizzy:
Cue the obligatory jokes about why women have trouble estimating length.
Perhaps you posted the wrong picture on your site or you're thinking of the short-shaft Zippyy stick instead?

EDIT: Updated pic from Ultimarc (above) looks like far more clearance than the similar-looking stick that I bought from Paradise Arcade Shop. (below) Thanks for the clarification, Andy. :cheers:
