UMK3 Restore (MK1 conversion, I believe) joystick carriage bolts
Question: I'm rebuilding a UMK3, which was originally a MK1, I'm pretty sure. The guys did a hack job on the control panel; wired in led buttons, etc. The joysticks are fastened with carriage bolts running through the plexi (which is cracked around the bolts). All of the photos I'm seeing of MK CPs show no carriage bolts.
I'm guessing that the joysticks were fasted using either bolts welded to the sheet metal, or screwed into T-nuts.
What's the correct way to reassemble this?
And where's a good source for the lexan?
THANKS!
