Welded Mounting on an Astro City panel.

Post by Ex_Mosquito »

Hi. When I originally had my astro it came with Seimitsu LS32s installed. I personally hate these sticks so I drilled holes in the mounting plates and fitted 2 sanwa jlf's instead. My question is, are the welded mounting brackets on the inside of the joystick panel universal for Sanwa/Seimitsu? And it just the matter of screwing on the required fixing plate to that? Or are they specific to the stick? I ask this because I have a sanwa fixing plate (which is pretty much flat) but the Stick fits WAY too low under the panel. They only way I've managed to get the right height is to re-drill holes in the Seimitsu fixing plates.

Cheers, Mark.

Ah I think I know what I need now!
I've worked out that in my cab I have plate number #6 (in pic) that I drilled with the screw fixings of #2 to accept JLF'S to be bolted on. Ideally I need two #2 plate. The reason being, the JLF'S don't seem to lay flat on the drilled #6 because of the raised countersunk screw holes in the corners and it causes the jlf's to bend slightly when bolted in.

Does anyone know a good place for the S-plate sanwas fixings (#2) for an astro in the UK?

Hope all that makes sense ;/
