I just screwed mine into the bottom of the contol panel.  I just had to use some washers and some rlly small screws.  Its works fine.  Try to use a thin metal washer as long as it doesnt bend.  With this there are no screws in the CP other than the ones that are holding the cp in place but if your going to glue it down you can pull it off without any screws showing.

Anybody have pix fo their installation?  Here is what I'm thinking the process to be.  Please correct me if there is anything wrong/better to do.

1)  Drill hole for bolt
2)  Drill a small recess in the top of the cp, so the t-nut will be flush or below the top of the cp.
3)  Hammer in the t-nut
4)  Bolt the joystick in from the bottom, using a washer on the bolt.
5)  Grind off any excess bolt that is coming up through the CP top.
6)  Drink a beer
7)  Repeate steps 1-6 for all holes (it will be hard after 12 or so holes).

I'd seriously just think of screwing them in from the bottom with some screws like deadkennedys suggested.I done this method and they hold really well,even if a whacked them with a mallet a few times I dont think they would budge.What you have to remember is, in a arcade the machines took some serious abuse at times so they had to be doubley sure but for home use I can't see the need.
