On a scale of 1-10, how hard is it to mount trackball flush on CP?

Okay.. I have little to no woodworking skills...
I can drill holes for buttons and joysticks and things like that,
but how hard is it to skip the mounting plate on the
trackball and mount it flush on the control panel
(which would be ideal to avoid the ridge that sticks up on the
plate?)

Or would you just reccomend putting in the plate
and being done with it?

Most people put a small indent so their plate looks flush, but is still there.  It would take a ton of work to get it mounted flush without a plate because you would have to route out a circular patter in the bottom of your CP.  Its probably easier just to route a small square on top :)

I don't think it can be done without a mounting plate. There wouldn't be enough wood to provide the strength required to hold it on. You can flush mount the mounting plat, you just need to router out a space for it. See link to my cab.

Let me know if you find any good information...I've been afraid to attempt anything yet...

OH, and on a scale... for what you ask? 11. To router a space for it...
