Mounting an LS-56 in EGRET II using 2 plates

[emphatic]

If you buy the LS-56-01 stock, you get a funky, square plate that only has two, useless holes. As I wanted to mount it straight away in my EGRET II, I figured I'd go the creative route until I feel like ordering a P-40 plate for it.

Enter the "SANWA" plate (holes fit a plate-less JLF) that's usually included with EGRET II's:



Typically, I didn't rotate the joystick so the two holes are the same direction as the plate in the picture, but you can see that the holes match.





The screws stick out of the plate, but they don't reach the panel as the panel's screws are attached to a raised plate already.





As you can see, the stick is sitting pretty low, but personally, I like that. I might try flipping the "SANWA" plate though to gain a couple of mm's in height. Sorry for the pictures, didn't have time to get the proper camera out.

...or just drill some holes in the sanwa plate, using the LS-56 plate as guide.

the P-40 is nice but as you said, puts the stick too high.

Just installed the LS-56 in my Egret II with 3 stacked P-40 plates, which is the limit it seems for stock screws/bolts. I bought four p-40 plates, but could only use 3... Haven't measured, but length of shaft looks close to the ls-32.

Very cool. I haven't experimented with stacking plates.

I just got these and I'm guessing the flat ones would also work!
