Everyone say to go with the Zippy's ... i guess i should go with them ... but the thing is they have a major flaw... if you get the long shaft upgrade... aren't they too long ? (and otherwize too short ?) |
| Slippyblade:
The long shaft is for if you bottom mount them on a 3/4" wooden CP. Top mount with short shaft is fine. Or bottom mount with long, either way. |
| PL1:
The long shaft ones are fine for undermounting without routing out a pocket for the stick. If you want a clean undermount using a short shaft and a routed pocket, check out EMDB's shallow undermount method here. Route a pocket on the bottom of the CP the size of the joystick mount plate. Add support blocks. Make a metal support plate to hold up the joystick and support blocks. Instead of a square plate, you could just use 2 pieces of flat bar-stock to hold the support blocks and joystick in place. Secure the metal support plate to the underside of the CP using 4 threaded inserts. (he went a little overboard :o ) Scott |
