Mounting Hole
« on: April 07, 2011, 01:30:48 pm »


I have to go buy a drill bit tomorrow, to drill the mounting holes for my buttons, just wondering what measurement that 1.13 is? Inches?

I here the ultimates are bad buttons.

I believe 1 1/8 inches will do you just fine, if its like every other happs button

1/8 = .125  so .13 is pretty much 1/8. I don't think you will find a 1/7.69 drill bit.

From what I gather on the forums, most people hate them because they tend to jam up.

I think the problem is due to the fact that the plunger slides past the microswitch actuator.  In alot of other buttons the plunger pushes directly on the actuator as the button is mounted in the horizontal and not the vertical.

Oh well, too late now, just ordered a bunch. Oh sure I'll give them a go, were cheap enough, if I need to change them down the line a bit, it wont be too big a job.

yeah, the hole size is the same, unless you get japanese buttons.
