sofakng:
I'm about to order this:

Do I still need one of these:

Also, in case it matters, I'm going to hooking this up to an Opti-Pac along with a Vortex Spinner.
zaphod:
If you are planning to mount in wood, yes, a mounting plate would make your life easier.  Not mandatory but it is an easier approach than other options.

You may want to explore this option instead.  http://www.happcontrols.com/trackballs/55110100.htm
atog:
yes as Zaphod said, it all depends on what you are mounting in.  My control panel is particle board bottom with a lexan top.  I was able to go without a mounting plate because of the lexan top, it basically acts as its own mounting plate.  
darktemp:
So a 1/8" piece of lexan is strong enough to support trackball play?  That's a good idea.
Lilwolf:
take note though

the mounting plate is 10 bucks... maybe 12 at happs...

hack with lexan if you don't want it to look like a mounting kit... Otherwise just do it.
