Joystick conversion mounting plate?

(1/3) > >>

disciple:
Hi.

I have a cab here that I've recently fitted a new monitor to, I'm now wanting to change the sticks.

Previously I'd fitted a couple of Happ 360s which fitted the existing mounting bolts perfectly.

The measurements to the four mounting holes are approx as follows :


--- Code: --- O-------------------------O
 |                         |
 |                         |
 |                         650mm
 |                         |
 |                         |
 O---------750mm-----------O

--- End code ---


Since I play a lot of shooters I'm wanting to remove the Happ's and put in a couple of Seimitsu LS-32's or possibly some Sanwa JLF-TP-8Y's but the problem is the mounting plates uses on these Japanese sticks have a different hole configuration.


So ideally what I'm looking for is some sort of mounting plate that will convert one type to another so I can mount the Japnese style sticks in my cab.  I've had a look here at the mounting plates about half way down the page and none there seem to do it.

Does anyone know if a mounting plate solution is available anywhere to convert one type to the other or how I could do this?   I don't really want to get into modding my current cpanel if possible since it's metal and the mounting bolts are welded on!

Do you really want to change P360 to Seimitsu or Sanwa if you play on shooters?
Look topic "Best joystick for SHMUPS". Better modify your P360. I recommend to you don't change P360 to LS-32 ot JLF-Tp-8Y! Modify P360!

Interesting, how do you go about modifying a P360, presumably the mod it would just shorten the throw on it?  What makes this modded P360 so much better than the Sanwa of Seimitsu?

I have a HRAP here with a Seimitsu stick in it which I find to be ace for shooters, also the positive clicky feedback means it works really well for beat 'em ups, it feels a lot better than my P360 as it is.
I'm not really that up on all this joystick business, the Seimitsu may just feel better because it's using a square gate and the P360 feels like it has a circular one(?).

Fozzy The Bear:
The other thing to note is that the Sanwa JLF-Tp-8Y are not particularly short throw. I have one mounted as my 4 way stick.

Modyfing P360 doesn't made shorter throw. It made faster (super fast) engagement.
Throw = max joystick travel
Engagement = joystick travel to engage move

LS-32 with square gate are better (far better) than P360 for beatem'up games, but P360 with circle gate are far better than LS-32 and JLF-TP-8Y  for airshooter games.

Square gates are better (best) for beatem'ups.
