Title: Bolt pattern ?
Post by: DYNAGOD on March 05, 2004, 09:11:51 am
anyone here happen to know the bolt pattern for a happ P360 optical?
i thought its was 3" x 2.56" but im uncertain as CAD models i got from oscar controls conflict with this.
i have a stick at home i could check but im currently at work trying to workup a CP on Solidworks and i have no idea what the Bolt pattern is to mount this stick up.
ironically its not even on the instruction card provided with the stick (think happ should add this little piece of trivia for builders)

thx all!  ;D

The Happ sticks all use a 3" x 2.6" bolt pattern, same as drawn in my AutoCAD files.  The base of the P360 is basically the same as the old Wico bases, which is the same bolt pattern used on the Happ sticks.

sweet..
when i imported and lined up your cad file with my control panel the mounting holes didnt line up .
when i tried to mate it up,even though it was only .080" off in total it was enough to cause all kind of assembly errors.

updating  CP to accomodate YOUR numbers.  ;D

Thx octopus,  that image should be linked to the product page, where did you find that?

That is the diagram for the Super joystick.  But as previously stated, the Super has the same base as the P360 which has the same base as the ....
