I outScotted Scott! --- End quote --- I'm a little confused about how these plates are supposed to work. Surely they should be significantly bigger that the biggest joystick that they are designed to be used with (in this case the Happ Super and Competiton) so that there's room available to bolt them onto the wood? But from the picture on Paradise Arcade's site, it looks like the plate is about the same size as the competiton's build in plastic mounting plate. --- End quote --- They're really more for using any joystick with a Happ mounting hole pattern. The OP's request just asked for plates without giving a purpose. |

Correct, I did not have a full purpose and I wasn't sure how to explain what I was looking for. I was aiming for something like Grasshopper described. Mount to the underside of the joystick, with overhang to bolt into the wood. These do not exactly do that, but may still help! |

I knew the joysticks did not come with these plates, I just just looking for a way to do a hidden mount without carriage bolts, as I routed too deep in a spot or two. I'll still try it out with the mounting kit I ordered from you as well lol --- End quote --- If you still have more than a half inch to play with, the mounting hardware should work. You'll just want to be very careful not to drill all the way through the panel when drilling for your inserts. Even if you have a little less material than you would like, if you have enough to get the inserts installed with a little protruding below, it will likely be enough to hold the stick securely. The threads on the inserts are quite large, so it should still provide enough holding power. They would basically just act like spacers, as well as something to screw into. How thick is the panel, and how deep did you go? |

Thanks Randy. Where do you get better customer service than this! Wood is 3/4 MDF, the thickest part I routed is about .375 inches, thinnest .25 inches.... I have a feeling I may be making a new control panel if I want to use those carriage bolts. First time building a panel, not a big deal. Here is the build, currently. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,142097.0.html |
