| CPickler:
how do you countersink bolts, or screws for that matter? |
| tommy:
I have used just screws for many years and havent had anything come loose, who wants to see those bolts anyway. |

I'm also in favor of mounting joysticks without seeing any bolts. I thought that screwing from underneath wasn't very secure and that the joystick could be ripped from the control panel during some intense play. I think I've seen several examples where the heads of carriage bolts are countersunk then filled and covered by some kind of overlay. |

In profile your hole would look like a step, with the top step being the surface of your CP and the second step being where your bolt head would end up. |
