Title: Has anyone modified a 4-8 way restrictor plate?
Post by: Alaska on November 13, 2015, 01:20:14 pm

• Has anyone ever used a dremel to round out an old 4-8 way restrictor plate to make a circular plate?
• What is the difference between just removing the plate all together? Will this damage the joystick (something tells me that in the long run it will)?

What joystick would you feel the need on which to do this?

Valid question indeed. I picked up 4 sanwa joysticks that are 4-8 way and was going to purchase a circular or octagonal base plate but thought that I would ask the question before dropping $50 plus shipping.
