Finished up my HRAP 3 last night. The finishing touches include some Cammy Art, nothing crazy just simple that goes with my colors, and a custom 1/16″ Plexi-Glass Cover.

Spent friday afternoon replacing parts on my HRAP 3 & EX2 with my goodies from AkihabaraShop.jp

The HRAP is completed as it was all plug and play.  I switched out all the buttons, ball top and gate with all new Sanwas.  So far it looks and feels great, but havent been able to put to much playtime into it.  I also dug into my EX2 which was a little more challenging.  I have to De-Solder the old buttons from the PCB’s inside which wasnt overly difficult but was a bit of a pain.  Along with that i had to dremel out the button holes to smooth out the notches it had for the stock Hori Buttons.  All that is left to do now is solder on some trace wires and QD’s so i can easily remove and replace buttons in the future.  Other than the buttons i also installed a Sanwa Green Ball Top and a Modified a Sanwa Ocatgonal Gate to with with the Hori Stick.

My AkihabaraShop.jp order of Sanwa parts all packed up and on the way to my house from Japan.  The part breakdown of what stick gets what listed below.
