DO NOT get the superduperdeathgrip flavor unless you never ever intend to undo that screw.  It's almost like superglue!  Red or blue is what I've used around the house, other colors I've used at work.

Red loctite is the "superdeathgrip" stuff, generally you have to heat whatever you've used it on to remove it. Blue is the general purpose Loctite, that's the one I'd reccommend for a project like this.

Historically, Blue Loctite is known in biker circles as "Harley Glue". Anything you attached to a Harley without a little blue loctite would fall off in a few miles after loosening from the vibration. ;)

okay, cool. thanks guys.  one more question though....on installing these teenuts, just to make sure, all i do is drill the HOLE and recess it so it will sit flush, and THATS IT right?  i dont have to make extra holes for the little prong thingys?  im assuming i just hammer it in and thats that.

Yep, just hammer!

good deal, these things sound great to use.  do they take regular size machine screws?  i cant remember what size the joystick machine screws were on my first one, but do they use the same size and everything?

They come in various sizes.  Best bet is to take the screws from the machine with you and match them up (if you can find a hardware store with loose bins anymore).
