Title: Screws to mount sanwa plate
Post by: noobofthecentury on April 01, 2008, 02:58:42 am

My order of sanwa JLF joystick arrived.
But they dont give me any screws to mount it on the cp.

noob question, if I were to go to home depot... what size or type of screw would I want to get?

M5 or the imperial equivalent are ideal.

I could only find M6 carriage bolts locally so Im filing the holes out slightly to accept them.

I went to homedepot and ask for the screw..
they have no idea what they doing =\
they like showing me a very huge screws, bolts etc...
and I dont think they have M5

Can you refer me where I can buy it online, thx
I am planning to undermount it, and I am hoping to find a fit screws with a flat head.
cause I want an art print on the top without the screw heads showing. Thx!

The screws you want are M3.
Did you order at Akihabarashop.jp? If yes then you had to add SB-3-8 (screw) and N-3 (nut) to the cart. If you ordered from us I can send you some for free.
