you use a template to cut your template hole. this one you have to make yourself though.
or be really really good at freehanding. ;)
oooh... or use a cnc machine :o
or use a straightedge clamped down to your cp. ;) ;)

So, I guess in an existing CP with an arborite finish, you would have to refinish it, or have the plate mounted on top?
Sinner:
How was this done? It's kind of what I'm looking for...
Flinkly:
without asking the guy, we can only speculate.

I didn't realize that it's best to use a straight edge to cut the trackball/joystick plate depression. I figured everyone did it by eyeballing it once you outlined the plates.
