Help needed. Would it be difficult to replace this joystick panel???

Stingray:
This is just me of course, but I don't see the point of first stripping the old overlay and then putting another sheet of metal over the existing panel. That's a very simple metal control panel. I'd just make a new one if it were me. Looks like one bend, and you'll have to spot weld the clamp brackets on the back (I'm assuming this is held on with panel clamps. Then you've got a nice fresh panel with no holes in it and you can cut the holes where ever you like.

Build a wood one to replace it. NO problem.





(probably)

Numerous people on this board have done just that. Just browse the examples for a while. You'll see this has been done over and over again.

yeah i had this same problem, metal CP too small to fit 2p 6 button layout. so i took the measurements of the CP, built one out of wood the same width but extended it out a little for some added room. made it slotted on the bottom with clamps to hold it on, so i can unclamp, swap out for different CP.

check out my thread on it, some good links for pics and info in there
