@"Missing Person"
My recommendation would be to build a custom mounting plate using wood or plastic (I tend to use ABS plastic sheets), and connect that to any stock PCB mounting posts that exist already (either the distro block, or the PCB posts for the X360 PCB)

I was able to add Sanwa buttons and stick, but I have some other questions\issues.

  • I need to know what is the best process to remove the current artwork
  • What material need to be used to print and ā€œpasteā€ a new artwork
  • Where to get the PSD template
  • What Do I have to do, if the cord is loose (the one that comes out from the stick is not tight)

Thanks

Things that make you go Hmm! The seimitsu stick isnā€™t an exact fit. The ls-32-01 with the SE plate from arcade shock doesnā€™t line up properly. You can only get 3 screws into the mounting plate. If you line up the seimitsu mounting plate with the street fighter 4 seā€™s case; youā€™ll notice that the screw hole closest to the PCB (right upper corner) doesnā€™t line up with the seimitsuā€™s mounting plate. Thereā€™s a little plastic clip holding the PCB; You could cut it away, to make the seimitsu stick fit. Iā€™m not liable for anything anybody does. But, Iā€™ve done that. And it fit perfectly. But also, I donā€™t want to be a dick. This is just kinda biased toward sanwa parts.

I think with some mounts, and I dont have a SE now to try this
With Semitsu mount plates you want the one lone hole in the middle for both sides and use only two screws. You might have to turn the plate 90 degrees to make this work.

Sort of.
To mount an LS-32 or LS-40 into an SE casing, youā€™ll need to use the S-Plate (not the SE flat plate) and rotate the mount 90 degrees (ie, use the mounts on the left/right sides rather than the top/bottom).
