Is it possible to install a JLF using the Seimitsu RE mounting plate? I know that by default it probably won’t work but I’m wondering if there is a trick or something to do it.
In case you’re wondering, I want to know because I have already installed a RE mounting plate on a custom stick and I don’t want to drill a whole new plexi just for the JLF, lol.
You have to drill new holes in the plate to make it fit. Or maybe you could glue it but then you would be stuck with the JLF ^_^.
Yeah that’s pretty much what I guessed. I actually only drilled two holes from the RE plate (the two circular one’s on the sides) into my plexi in case it makes any difference. Would any other Seimitsu or Sanwa plates fit those holes somehow? Maybe the JLF-P-1?
I’m sitting here trying to do the geometry but it might be easier for you to just put them on top of each other, lol.
I made drawings of them before, maybe this will help you:

Yeah that’s what I was using to do the geometry. I tried to calculate the diagonal distance between the circular holes on the sides. This is what I got. I guess it’s not going to work. Thanks for the help as usual.
JLF-P-1: 84.89 mm
RE: 86.35 mm (what I have now)
MS: 93.04 mm
I can take a picture off the JLF-P-1 and the RE together, hold on…
Heres some pics:

How is it mounted in your stick? Any pics?
From the pictures you posted, it seems like it might fit. The fist picture is a little warped in the corner.

BTW it’s a VHSG mod.
Aaaaah, it is THAT hole!
I think it should work with the JLF-P-1 then.
Thanks a lot. I’ll probably add one of those the next time I need to order parts.
why no sticky?
quick question to people with experience with both of the below which is better for 2D fighting games:
Sanwa JLF w/ Square Gate
Sanwa JLF w/ Oct Gate
thanks.
It’s in the Essential thread, which is stickied.
As for your question, it’s preference. I prefer the square gate because that’s what arcade cabs use and the throw is smaller compared to the octo gate.
anyone know how good LS-55 is when double tapping a directions. I’m looking to grab a stick where i can hold a direction, release the stick about 2-3mm(causing the switch to deactivate), then move back to that direction. In other words either the hardware(as in the switch) is short, or the engage distance and throw distance are practically the same.
I asked about the LS-55 cause i will be doing a FS3/wii/EX Mod and between the LS-55 and LS-56, the LS-55 has a smaller plate to base
however if the LS-56 is more superior than the LS-55 in many/all ways, i will go with it instead and make the heavy mods. Oh and i don’t like how sanwas feel, too loose for me imo
LS-56 is better than LS-55, in all ways. Get it with the octagonal restrictor and your set.
Sanwas too loose? Check out my mod ^_^:

I prefer octagonal gate but I want it modded.
Check it out:

It’s all personal preference. Some like the shorter throw on the square gate where others like the accuracy of the Octagonal. If you play with one long enough you can make up the differences between them and play what you like.
Edit: I use octagonal on all my sticks.
does anybody happen to know the height in mm of the seimitsu SS mounting plate?
I have measurements on all mountingplates at Akihabarashop.jp
Here is SS:
thank you! :woot:
No worries. Remember, it is in millimeters.
Thickness is 1.6mm.
