I just got me a dedicated 4-way, but have mounting questions. http://www.happcontrols.com/joysticks/5060841125r.htm If I am going up through 3/4" of CP material only the ball and maybe 1/4" of shaft is above the top of the CP. This seems too litlle. Should I recess the CP for the joystick? Anyone have pictures they can share to show how they mounted theirs? Thanks |

Yeah, these are really made for metal CPs. There are longer-joystick-shafts available. A guy named tornadoterry sells them. He's an ebayer from Tejas. I can never remember his exact ebay name, but I'll see if i can find it for you. |

That particular joystick specifically states its for metal control panels only but your on the right track for your own use. Either route out a place for the mounting plate OR get a replacement joystick. I know I have seen/read that they are available. I hear its a great joystick, you will like it once your happy with how it mounts. Rodney |

I have the ms pacman/galaga 4 way. I mounted it by recessing the cp from the top. I cut a hold to fit the base and routed the top. After you lock it down then I put the switches back on. Works great. |
