The Sanwa and Seimitsu FAQ

They are quite pink.

ya know!

I see. Well then how pink are the Pink Pearl Semitsus?

The pink definitely looks more noticeable. I bought some red Pearl Seimitsus and didnā€™t expect them to be that pink either, but it doesnā€™t really bother me.

Did you order them from me? It seems they are more pink now than before but I took this picture long time ago:

I orded from Gaminnow.net

On a different note, Iā€™m thinking of picking up an LS-56 or two since shaft covers will fit them. Is that the tall Seimitsu joysick that feels closest to an LS-32, or would an LS-40 or LS-55 be closer?

If you like LS-32 then LS-56 is the stick for you I think. It is tight and fast to play with (and fun ^_^).

Also measurements are here:

Sorry if this has been answered, but I tried searching this thread and couldnā€™t really find an answer.

I was wondering if I were to drill a 30mm hole for a JLF stick, would the dust cover be large enough to cover the hole when the stick is in use?

I know the dust cover is roughly 38mm, but I wasnā€™t sure if thatā€™s a large enough of a diameter. Also, Iā€™m sure this plays a small factor, but the stick is mounted at the standard height of 23-24mm (from the top panel to the bottom of the ball top).

Hmm, Iā€™m not sure if this helps you much but I did a measurement on my TE. The washer moves about 7mm on the radius from highest top position to lowest bottom position.

edit: changed 4 to 7

You need a 24mm hole, not 30mm hole.

Here you can have look to reference is 30mm hole is cool for Dust Disc.

24mm hole with 37.87mm Dust Disc.

24mm hole with 31mm Dust Disc.

So, what do you think?

I have an LS-40-01 I want to put in my TE, I donā€™t have a harness or anything for it, what do I need to buy to throw it in?

Thanks. This sorta helps. I know its suppose to be a 24mm hole, but that guy I asked to cut the plexi for me drilled the hole as 30mm. Hopefully the dust cover is large enough (even if barely), so that you canā€™t see any holeā€¦

Flip the plug upside down.

I donā€™t need a mounting plate or anything like that to put it in? Just flip the harness upside down and mount it with that plate?

You need Seimitsu SS Mounting Plate.
The default RE Mounting Plate will make Shaft Height too short.

SS ā€œSā€ Joystick Mounting Plate

That?

Yes.

I asked this in the newbie thread, but I think it got buried, and, well, now I think about it the question is better suited in this thread. Dumb me.

Anywho. Is it possible to mount a LS-32-01 in a HRAP3 (or any HRAP without the universal mounting bracket) using a flat mounting plate and the shaft extender? Or would using the shaft extender make the stick a little taller than what it should be?

Yeah, I have a stupid question. I donā€™t mind getting mocked for it, so long as I get the right answer to it as well. I was looking to replace the stock buttons on my HRAP3 with the Sanwa OBSF 30 buttons. What color in the Sanwa catalog is a closest match to the stock HRAP3 buttons and ball top? I donā€™t want to spend on a replacement ball top, and I donā€™t want the colors to be obviously mismatching.

I think it would be too long and odd to use, but yes itā€™s possible.

The stock HRAP3 balltop is vermilion.
