I think the bottom (plastic) cases of the hrap2 and the T5 are identical, so it should work.
i wanna try that too. just got my hrap 2. will i damage the design on the T5? or is a smooth switch? also, i would like to swap the buttons out and understand that snap ins are the best way?
No, yes and yes, although, if you’re going to put snap-ins in the T5 plate, you need to file/grind down the metal tabs int he holes.
Which holes? Would i be grnsing the stick-base or just the buttons?
Just so there’s no misunderstanding, you can replace the buttons on the hrap2 with sanwa buttons by just popping out the old and popping in the new. On the T5 stick, however, there are metal anti-rotation tabs that don’t allow sanwa buttons to fit (snap-in or screw).
Buttons
ok. So Its as easy as placing the top and components into the base? So ill end up with a white t5 and a black hrap. Thanks guys.
So that’s where the extra labor comes into play. Is it easily removable though? Like, you don’t need to be a genius at this stuff to file it down or whatever like some have said?
I was thinking about just buying a prewired pcb+joystick and then just removing all the T5 innards and replacing it. Would that work? I read somewhere the joystick holes are aligned differently from a hrap so I’d have to do some more work on it. I wish there were pictures… The ones on that himura site are all down.
No, leave the innards. A sanwa JLF will go in there fine. You just have to drill four 2mm holes through the restrictor gate. And you can get around the tab problem by swapping just the button switches with sanwa ones while leaving the hori button casings in there.
Is there any way to use a HRAP3 with the dreamcast except swapping out the whole PCB?
are there any sites that still sell hrap 2’s? i can’t find them anywhere.
Yeah, there are still some (new) on ebay.
Is it possible to install a Seimitsu LS-40
without any extended modifications on the HRAP2/3?
over 70,000 views and this isnt stickied? also* you should also change www.akihabarashop.com to www.akihabarashop.jp (one of the dealers for sanwa/seimitsu parts)… i thought it was a non-working link until a friend sent me the .jp one…
The link to this thread is in the essential thread, so it’s not necessary to sticky it. If we stickied all of the good, informative threads in this forum, it’d cover about 2 pages.
exactly
ty sir
ps: who’s WE? 
you are we :3
ahh did not know that =P
Does anyone know if the LS-55-01 will fit on the wii hori?
I have successfully installed a HAPP COMPETITION stick (I didnt have the perfect 360 around) into the HRAP3:arazz: using the SANWA stick PCB.I drilled four holes and fastened the HAPP from inside the HRAP.It is a knockoff of HAPP, but I like it.
