NEWBIE ALERT! This is my first arcade project. I've totally been doing it by the seat of my pants, learning as I go, so my lack of know-how and common sense with things definitely will show. Take pity!
So I hastily bought 2 Sanwa joysticks for my 19" capcom cabinet (originally magic sword) and after starting to install them, I quickly realized the mounting plates on my sanwa joysticks I have, do not even remotely line up to the ones already drilled in the CP (and the custom plexi glass I had made for it).
here's some reference images to my problem:
Joysticks I bought

My Control Panel (Before I stripped it to the bare metal)
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=19905554&l=2e1e3eec58&id=561825178
The metal CP has the square style 4 hole mounting for an american style joystick.
Does anyone have any advice on how I can go about getting these installed easily? I don't have the tools necessary to drill new holes in the metal CP, so I'm ideally looking for a solution that allows me to use my existing holes, and mount the sanwa joysticks.
Thanks!
