1/2" Wood and Bottom Mounting Sanwa JLF - Mounting Plate Depth?
ZTylerDurden717:
Hi guys,
I thought I found info on the forum about this but I lost it. I was going to bottom mount my Sanwa JLF sticks in 1/2" CP thickness. How deep should I go in the recess hole for the mounting plate? I'm using threaded inserts to secure it.
It's either going to be 1/4" or 1/8". Not sure what's recommended given the length of the Sanwa shaft.

Nevermind folks. The right thing to do was to get an S-mounting plate.

Slag coin suggests leaving 23-24 mm from the bottom of the ball to the top of your panel, which from when I was looking into meant the mounting plate needed be pretty close to 1/4” below the top of your panel. If you bottom mount though that would leave 1/4” thickness of material which may be an issue if the sticks get manhandled. :dunno:

Yeah I thought about that and I was like "OK that doesn't sound sturdy enough" and then decided to get the S-mounted plate. Now the situation here is that the S-plate requires about 3/8" (9.1mm) in depth BUT you screw from the 1/2" mark from the bottom/beginning instead of from 1/4" in the previous scenario.
Will it be sturdier this way? No idea, but Slagcoin seems to favor the S-mount versus a flat plate bottom mounting method.
In any case, thanks dude ;D

Definitely sturdier, Japanese sticks were designed to mount to metal panels, hence the thin mounting requirements. S plates as I understand it we’re designed to help overcome this in a wood mount without having to swap out the shafts for longer ones (which is an option, but changes the leverage or stiffness of the stick). You could use T-nuts on the top of the wood, and screw in from the bottom of the S-plate, that would probably work well. As another alternative, you could go with a universal mounting plate and route out the top and put another top finishing layer (I’m doing this on my build).
What is going on top, graphics? Do you have freedom to mark up the top cause you’ll put something over it?
