Glad to assist.

Thank you both!
More visual to work with is excellent.

Roboman:
After five years, I'm back!  ;D
Has anyone managed to fit a circular or octagonal restrictor plate onto the MiniGrip?
I've now got it in a cabinet where I'm playing games like Mad Planets and Forgotten Worlds, but the sharp 8-way corners are clunky as hell.

Since your previous restrictor mod was drilling out the mount holes on a Zippyy/LS-32 restrictor, have you looked into modding an LS-32 restrictor like one of these?  Not sure if the last two will work on the MiniGrip, but the Triple should work with the same mods you did on your previous one.
  Triple (round/4-way/2-way) - https://paradisearcadeshop.com/products/seimitsu-ls-32-triple-restrictor-plate
  Circle - https://paradisearcadeshop.com/products/seimitisu-ls-32-circle-restrictor-plate
  Octagon - https://paradisearcadeshop.com/products/seimitsu-octagonal-gate

If you have access to a 3d printer, you might try modding these restrictors, either by printing the .stl and drilling it out or by modifying the .dxf or .step files.

If those files don't work, it shouldn't be too hard for me to make a customizable restrictor in OpenSCAD.

EDIT: The restrictor gates in the second and third links are thicker and don't seat on the MiniGrip's alignment nubs.

Roboman:
Great. Thanks for that. You've come to the rescue again!
I'll let you know how I get on.
The MiniGrip's in this Arcade1up I turned into a Mame cab. I also added a spinner.
It's a good solution that lets me play all those games that require a spinner, trackball, twin stick, flight stick or combination of all of them, like Assault, Discs of Tron, Battlezone, Mad Planets, Forgotten Worlds etc
