Sanwa GTN-B Square Mod Type II Restrictor Gate Insert

Sanwa is an undisputed leader in the Japanese arcade market, but that doesn't mean the company isn't inspired by community-born modifications to their celebrated joystick levers.  Today, the company asks you to do just that - mod to your heart's content - with a selection of color-coded performance enhancers.

Curved Square Restrictor Guide Tip/Insert

Sanwa GTN-B Square Mod Type II Restrictor Gate Insert is designed for the Sanwa GT-8X Square Restrictor Gate and provides a unique feel when performing 360 motions, as its top and bottom side are curved slightly, and its left and right sides have defined spaces for charge attacks.

Important Notes

Guide Tips Not compatible with Sanwa GT-8F square gate

Sanwa's original restrictor plate - the GT-8F 4/8-Way Restrictor Plate - is not compatible with the newer GTN-VI, GTN-Y, GTN-B and GTN-R inserts.

TPRG Silent Joystick and GT-8X, Guide Tips

For those who would like to replace their original guide on the Sanwa JLF-TPRG-8BYT-SK Higher Tension Silent Microswitch Joystick, the contact of the lead switch may shift due to the impact when the guide plate is attached, and it may not operate normally. You may want to avoid the guide tips part of the mod for that model.

Sanwa JLF Clones

The JL-C-ALL kit and associated parts was designed for authentic Sanwa JLF models.  We're unable to speak for all Sanwa JLF clones on the market, or "knock-off" models that are pre-built into lower-cost Fightsticks, nor cheaper Zippy models.

Guide Tips

Guide Tips are inserts for the Sanwa GT-8F 4/8-Way Restrictor Plate that comes with your JLF. Each guide is color-coded and designed to provide a unique enhancement to lever travel, from the tried-and-true octagonal control of the yellow GTN-Y to the hybrid rounded square of the GTN-B.
