Mounting hole sizes?

Pages: (1/2) > >>

BrianP:

So, I am in the midst of building my first cabinet and I am struggling a bit on the control panel layout.  After 3 failed layout attempts (thank gawd I have been testing in cardboard rather than wood), I thought I would ask for some advic e.  I got most of my gear from Andy at Ultimarc who as been a great help!

What I am trying to figure out is mounting holes.

I have a U-Trak trackball from Ultimarc which should use a 86mm (3 3/8 inch) diameter hole.
I have 2 U360 joysticks from Ultimarc which should use a 20 mm diameter hole.
I have a SpinTrak spinner from Ultimarc which should use a 28 mm diameter hole.

What I struggling a bit is the push buttons.  I have Happ buttons (from Groovy Game Gear).  Happ lists as a 1.13 diameter hole, which should be a 28 mm diameter hole.

Does this all seem reasonable and correct?  I need to buy some hole saws and I don't want to buy the wrong sizes.

Thanks!

Crap, I posted this in the from forum.  Can a moderator close this as I am going to repost in the correct one?

Sorry...

All this is listed in the Wiki. However, Happs pushbuttons are generally mounted with 1 1/8" holes, which means they should work fine with a 28mm.

1-1/8" or 28mm, the two are very close and I don't see you having any problems with 28mm.

I'm looking for, but can't seem to find, a list of mounting sizes of popular buttons, spinners, trackballs, etc.  I imagine that this is what can be found 'in the Wiki'.  Any chance of providing a link?  I've searched Wikipedia and BYOAC wiki, to no avail.  Sizes between buttons, trackballs, etc. would also be helpful.

I want to create a 2 player CP (my first ever) with 1joy/6button per player, a trackball, spinner (up/down) and a flight-type stick w/trigger.  I'm hoping to fit this into a 24"w CP (slightly greater if needed).  I've got a Space Duel cabinet and really don't want to create a huge CP.

I've got many more questions, lol, but these sizes will really come in handy right about now..

Thanks in advance!

PS If I knew the 'correct forum', as BrianP mentioned, I'd go looking there....
