      Good evening folks... So I messed up... I spent a ton of time mapping out my control panel, but forgot to take in to account the 2 buttons on the sides... well, they interfere with my trackball mount and my joystick mount.
      I can get away with it as is, if i can find a 28mm button that is about half the length of the typical happ style button (they are so long).
      Any idea where I can find them? I can find 30mm short ones (cheaper buttons) but not 28.
      The cabinet is already welded acrylic, so backing out now, isnt really an option :)
      thanks

          @dunginhawk pay attention to wording. If the say something like "for replacement for sanwa..." as they are cheap crappy fakes.

            @dunginhawk it looks like sanwa has 24mm and 30mm only.
