Really? I’ve never seen them…
answer my qoestions please
- No, it won’t fit without modifications. The button holes will be need to be widened. And refer to answer number 2.
- Either way is feasible, but both will need routing. Refer to www.modeverything.com for a tutorial for top mounting.
- Make it in an art program or as someone in IMM to make you one, go to Kinko’s and get it printed, and put it under the plexi.
- 30 MM drill, a router, are the main tools, and other small random tools you should have on hand.
thanks darkchylade. i tried the modeverything webpage but it dosent work?
what kind of router are u talking about
The modeverything site works. I don’t see why you can’t access it.
Sooooo… I got my HRAP in the mail yesterday. It’s awesome. But I might mod it with Sanwa pushbuttons sometime. How would one go at this? I hear it’s pretty easy.
Open it, take off the quick disconnects, pop out the buttons, pop in the sanwas, plug the quick disconnects back on and you’re done.
. . . Wow.
He’s right, I repeated this tons of times on the Hardware board, it’s easy as FUCK.
Here’s mines.
Pink! 
Nice hahaha…
I think I’m gonna go for an all blue look. 
Ok I have a ? Im going to mod my Agetec and i need to know what are the difference in the gates for Sanwa (performance,ect.) and which one should i get. also if possible i would want to get a optical but those are discontinued. is ebay a possibility for finding it? Thx
Performance is just a matter of personal preference. Since American’s are used to circular or octagonal ones, some prefer octagonal gates. But some people wanna have a correct Japanese counterpart, and square is what they use over there. As far as the Flash stick (optical) are concerned, I really even doubt Ebay would have em, but you might wanna poke around on the boards and see if some people are willing to give theirs up.
okay, i’ve recently bought 2 sanwa sticks from himuragames.
but i forgot to buy the mounting plates thinking i wouldnt need it. i’m still waiting rod keyes to reply back to my email, but in the mean time, i’m thinking of substitudes in case i cant get the plates.
i dont want to install the stick from the bottom because it would be wayy too short.
is there any way to substitude a mounting plate?
using plexiglass is out of the question because it will break.
i’m thinking of buying a small piece of lexan and cut it out in a shape of the sanwa mounting plates. would that work? i heard lexan is really durable but how strong is it anyways?
also, whats the bolt size for the mounting plates to the sanwa sticks?
Just shoot Rod back an email. He is really cool about changing an order. I wouldn’t try any substitutes as it won’t be as good and will prolly be more expensive. Screws and bolts are included to attach the stick to the mounting plates.
Sanwa screw-ins…

- How large is the nut.
- How thick material can I mount it in?
Would be great is somebody could measure it in millimeter so it gets more accurate.
Thanks!
im alittle confused but i need to know if i use the solderless a series hack exactly which wires would i wire to the sanwa prongs if i used quick dissconects, would i need to daisy chain it? and also if i used a 5 pin connector would i just put the 5 wires into the ribbon?
What is the spade bit/hole saw size for start buttons? I’m thinking 15/16.
You cannot use quick disconnects on the Sanwa stick. The prongs, the 5-pin connector, isn’t made to accept quick disconnects. Best bet is to solder your wires onto the prongs, onto the microswitch contacts, or use the 5-pin cable and connect the wires from that to your PCB.
ooops i meant how would i wire the wires to the BUTTONS. sorry
