Qanba Q4 LS-56-01 Mod. Mountingplate confusingeness..

[bytestorm]

Hi!
After searching around about modding this qanba q4 stick with a LS-56-01 I dont understand if and what type of mounting plate I will need?
Some say I dont need any mounting plate, just a straight swap, other posts say, I need a S shaped mountingplate, like the original is.
And last post i found was about the MS plate from akihabarashop.. The MS plate is just plain straight.. not S shaped as the original? :S

anyone who could shed some light on this? Do I really need any plate? and if I do, wich one?

Please check the akihabarashops mountingplates for seimitsu, since I will be ordering from there, or show me a picture so I can check myself.

Thanks in advance!

The LS-56 has the same base as the LS-58.

You'll need the LS-58's P-40 mounting plate to mount it in a Q4.

I'm on my phone so I can't look up aki's stock, but I got mine from FA and they work fine.

Ok, so the P40 is the correct one?
I suspect that more than 1 fits, hence all the different bids, but this P40 is a flat plate,
will that make the stick shorter since the original sanwa stick has a S shaped plate?
Or is the sanwa sticks shaft longer?

Thanks for the info so far!

That's the plate I use on my Qanba Q3, which has the same Sanwa mounting holes as the Q4.

Yes, the shaft will be about 3mm shorter due to the flat-plate, but you won't notice the difference at all.
This is the only mounting-plate I know of that takes a LS-56/58 and allows it to be mounted in a Sanwa standard stick. I don't believe there is an s-shaped Seimitsu plate that will fit Sanwa mounting holes for the 56/58's.
