Mounting hole sizes?
BrianP:
So, I am in the midst of building my first cabinet and I am struggling a bit on the control panel layout. After 3 failed layout attempts (thank gawd I have been testing in cardboard rather than wood), I thought I would ask for some advic e. I got most of my gear from Andy at Ultimarc who as been a great help!
What I am trying to figure out is mounting holes.
I have a U-Trak trackball from Ultimarc which should use a 86mm (3 3/8 inch) diameter hole.
I have 2 U360 joysticks from Ultimarc which should use a 20 mm diameter hole.
I have a SpinTrak spinner from Ultimarc which should use a 28 mm diameter hole.
What I struggling a bit is the push buttons. I have Happ buttons (from Groovy Game Gear). Happ lists as a 1.13 diameter hole, which should be a 28 mm diameter hole.
Does this all seem reasonable and correct? I need to buy some hole saws and I don't want to buy the wrong sizes.
Thanks!

Crap, I posted this in the from forum. Can a moderator close this as I am going to repost in the correct one?
Sorry...

All this is listed in the Wiki. However, Happs pushbuttons are generally mounted with 1 1/8" holes, which means they should work fine with a 28mm.

1-1/8" or 28mm, the two are very close and I don't see you having any problems with 28mm.

I'm looking for, but can't seem to find, a list of mounting sizes of popular buttons, spinners, trackballs, etc. I imagine that this is what can be found 'in the Wiki'. Any chance of providing a link? I've searched Wikipedia and BYOAC wiki, to no avail. Sizes between buttons, trackballs, etc. would also be helpful.
I want to create a 2 player CP (my first ever) with 1joy/6button per player, a trackball, spinner (up/down) and a flight-type stick w/trigger. I'm hoping to fit this into a 24"w CP (slightly greater if needed). I've got a Space Duel cabinet and really don't want to create a huge CP.
I've got many more questions, lol, but these sizes will really come in handy right about now..
Thanks in advance!
PS If I knew the 'correct forum', as BrianP mentioned, I'd go looking there....
