I always over mansplain things, simply.
I've got an old Pandora box that I just want to use the current joys, simple way to lock 4 way plate down from the top, or adjust it from the top?
I'm not looking at the CP, looks are worth nadda, I just want 4 way switchable with current sticks.
Like 2 locating holes or Velcro, magnets to hold it down.
drop from the top- THANKS

You might be able to adapt the UltraStik front mount restrictor:https://www.ultimarc.com/arcade-controls/joystick-accessories/ultrastik-front-mounted-restrictor-kit-for-ball-top/ (https://www.ultimarc.com/arcade-controls/joystick-accessories/ultrastik-front-mounted-restrictor-kit-for-ball-top/)
If your joysticks are JLFs or JLF clones you can use the GRS 4-way/8-way switcher:https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/tos-grs-4-to-8-way-restrictor-all-in-one-kit (https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/tos-grs-4-to-8-way-restrictor-all-in-one-kit)

The throw is wider (longer) higher up, so I'd need to widen it, I THINK, lol - :dunno
Without physically looking at one. I even thought of cutting one diagonally . and placing the two on there separately, as to adjust the Hight and width to match.

Those switchable would work, but I was trying to get it done cheaply, or I;d look for GGG Omni's.

The GRS one controls two joysticks, you just have to add the extension kit for the 2nd one:https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/tos-grs-4-to-8-way-restrictor-extension-kit (https://thunderstickstudio.com/products/tos-grs-4-to-8-way-restrictor-extension-kit)
So, under $50 for both, pretty much a draw between this and buying 2 Omni's. Assuming you are doing both joysticks.

LOL- I guess for $50 it's not worth the hassle, 1 tank of gas. or hours of aggravations- :hissy:
Thanks.
