After a lot of looking, I've come to the conclusion that the bolts have to be ordered online. Here are two places you can go to find them:
http://www.quarterarcade.com/Browse.aspx?c=All.Parts.Hardware
http://www.mikesarcade.com/cgi-bin/store.pl?action=search&category=Game+Parts&subcategory=Nuts+and+Bolts
I believe the #8-32 bolts are the ones typically used on joysticks.
Hope that helps!

www.happcontrols.com has them also, but I think they may have a fairly steep minimum order (either in cost or quantity of bolts).
Ash...Housewares:
Minimum order of 100 at $.16 ea. So you'll spend at least $16 on the bolts. Shipping & handling from them can also be pretty outrageous.

Mr. Bubblehead:
I went for the "clean look" on my control panel, no exposed bolts.
