I ‘think’ the LS56 and LS58 have the same shape, so what you’ll do is remove the plate and then screw them directly onto the backplate of the MVS CP

Thank you! Isn´t the direct mounting size to the CP for LS-32? I think the LS-32 is bigger then the the LS-58 isn´t it?

They have different screw pitches. I'd just mod the sticks in some manner, looks like there's plenty of room to play with.

You’re absolutely right!! I confused myself as I use an Alberto panel on my U4 with an LS-56 on it…

Hmmmm, now I’m in the same boat. I have a stick (Sigma supergun thing) with a plateless mount for an LS-32 that I want to mod, and I don’t want to use an LS-32 :think:

I’ll let you know if I find a solution, and I’ll keep tabs here in case you find one!

Edit: Ignore! Found a mounting diagram for an LS-55, but it appears to be fake news

Unless you want to drill holes into it, the original CP will only work with a LS-32, LS-40 and LSX-NOBI.

If alberto is doing you a panel he could just drill the holes to the stick requirements you want.

The panels Alberto makes are not like the originals. They have a universal stick mount.

My U4 - 33 unfortunately didn't come with the OE panel, it came with a shoddy knockoff, I replaced it with an Alberto and it looks and operates magnificently.

Edit - oh and congrats on finally getting one! 8-)

Hrm, I'll check my chassis for the model, IIRC it's a TOEI, this may take me a while as a lot on ATM.

But I need the cap list for it.

I would like to ask for a favor. Since the decals are in a bad shape, I ordered a full decal set.
Now I need a fotograph to see where they are located exactly. Could you or somebody else help out?

Thanks in advance

Sorry for the delay, here's a pic, not much artwork really as you can see, I'm also not convinced the "MVS" black logo in the middle at the top is stock, but was on there when I bought it.

(top left and top right are magnets)
