For a 3 inch Harp Trackball what size hole should be cut. Also for the Joystick and Harp buttons?
Thanks,

Do you have a mounting plate? I'm not sure how you would do it without one unless you plan on removing A LOT of material underneath. If you have the mounting plate, this is all you need:

I am pretty sure the hole you want is 3" exactly - that's the outside diameter of the lip around the trackball.
Buttons are typically 1-1/8" for buttons and joysticks although I've been cutting my joystick holes 1" lately for... reasons? I don't know.
Whatever you do, test everything on scrap before committing to the real thing.
