Oh yhaa I’m aware of the common parts shared between the LS-32 and the LS-40. I didn’t get a chance to open up my V3 but I did browse around looking for info on how to properly mod it and I came across this page.

Just wondering… Is there any PCBs out there for a PS3 HRAP 3-SA stick that can be used for dual-mod purposes? (Like the PS360, TEasy Strike, and Kitty)
Or do I need to do it the old fashioned way? (Xbox 360 pad + PS3 PCB)?
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I didn’t want to make a new thread…
I have an HRAP EX. The USB cord got fucked up so I figured the best way to fix this was to cut the cord to remove the bad section and splice and solder the two ends together. So I went out and bought a soldering iron and some wire strippers. Now I’m having second thoughts and was wondering if it would be better to just attach a new wire to the PCB.
Thing is I have 0 experience with soldering or doing any type of mods other than swapping out the stock buttons with Sanwa buttons, so I’m kind of afraid to mess with the PCB. Should I attempt this or would it be better to go with my original plan of just splicing the two ends of the wire together? Thanks.
What I said here is technically right BUT you could still use a JLF extender for LS-40-01 in an HRAP 3 (vanilla, NO SA, NO SE) case.
You’d have to special-order the JLF extender from eTokki.com… Get the JLF extender that’s painted black has the extra thickness equivalent to a JLF shaft with JLF CD shaft cover.
(So yeah, in a nutshell I was wrong but at the same time nobody makes a purpose-built LS-40 extension. It was Laugh at eTokki that brought the JLF extension compatibility with the LS-40 shaft to my attention. He sells the extensions in the first place! LOL)
Here’s why it would probably work… LS-40 shaft covers can be used on JLF shaft IF they’re thinned out. There’s a tutorial video for that on Akihabarashop.jp’s website. (Don’t bother looking for shaft extenders on Aki’s site… they don’t sell them.)
By that reasoning, a JLF extension should match up with the LS-40(-01) shaft. It will at least thread on properly since the shaft all have the same threading on the top… If they didn’t, ball tops wouldn’t be cross-compatible between Sanwa and Seimitsu joystick shafts/levers.
We know that JLF-CD shaft covers fit on LS-32 shaft if they’re thinned out from the interior. Hence, a shaft covered LS-32 has the same diameter as a shaft-covered JLF.
By that same reasoning — thin out an LS-40 shaft cover for a JLF shaft, then a JLF with LS-40 cover should be roughly equivalent to a shaft-covered (JLF-CD) JLF and roughly equivalent to an LS-40 with an LS-40 shaft cover. Therefore, extension parts for a shaft-covered JLF should work on both a shaft-covered LS-32 and LS-40 with its Seimitsu shaft cover.
I’ll be able to confirm this 100% in the future whenever I have the cash to get an LS-40-01 and JLF (black) extension for it. I have plans to install an LS-40-01 in my white HRAP 3…
I’m trying to put an LS-56-01 in my HRAP1 Amazon.jp edition. I need four screws to mount it, but I don’t know what size the screws need to be. Does anyone happen to know this?
I just got a HRAP VX-SA for my xbox and was wondering if anyone could direct me to where I could buy a octagonal restrictor plate, and also to instructions on how to change them out
I don’t think this guide mentions anything about the HRAP EX-SE (Special Edition) for the 360. I notice that it does have areas for the Special Edition and the EX, but these are both different from the EX-SE. The SE in the guide has a different color scheme, and the EX features some generic arcade parts. As it stands, I believe the EX-SE is the only widely available full Seimitsu stick for the Xbox 360. This is it: http://sdtekken.com/tech-area/arcade-sticks/hori-real-arcade-pro-ex-se-360/
I wanted to come here as it seems that it would be a good place to ask how to go about installing a JLW into the EX-SE. The MS plate is necessary for an install of an LS-56 into the EX-SE, but this MS plate differs greatly from the JLW plate. How could I go about doing this?
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
p.s - Well I see this guide is very old, it sucks that users cannot update thread titles. I also wish the search engine on this site was more robust. It seems like a huge failure to be unable to search for terms like “ls-56”, “jlf”, “jlw” “ls-32” etc, as the terms are all too short. Arcade stick parts are a huge part of our community and it would be nice to be able to properly search for them.
Yeah the search function can be sort of a disappointment when 90% of what your looking for gets omitted .
While your figuring out how to install that JLW, might I suggest trying just the JLW spring in your LS-32? That’s what I use on mine with a round gate and an aluminum bat top. It pretty much rocks!
Thank you for your suggestion, I have considered this too. However my main issue is the lack of grippable surface area, while the JLW-UM uses a larger body with a large bat top or 40-45mm Ball top design. I have large hands and feel like I can hardly grip the LS-32. The LS-56 is a direct install, so I will have to go with that if I can’t go with the JLW.
Thank you for that man, now see if we could properly search, I could have found it at some point maybe. I think something really needs to be done about the search engine restrictions.
I don’t think there was even a link in the First Post.
Since blklightning21 makes Custom Panel and Covers for HRAP V3/VX, he has Template.
Go to his Lightning Label Customs Thread to find link to his website.
