Where to buy screws
Snakebyte:
Total newbie question here, but I'm trying to find a place to buy the security screws I see everyone using to mount their joysticks. I will be ordering some stuff from Happ Controlls, do they sell them there? Do they come with a joystick?

Carriage bolts right?
To mount the joystick?
Bob Roberts has em..the black once..they looks REALLY nice..You should order some extra too in case you wanna build more panels later.. ;D
Snakebyte:
Yes, bolts not screws :P
Are they fairly specific or could I find them at a hardware store? Paying a lot on shipping for a dozen bolts wouldn't be my first choice.

Ace hardware has the size 3/16" that's best for mounting joysticks... (using the appropriate length of course)
Home depot has the 1/4" ones that are a wee bit too thick IMHO
*shrug*

another funny thing about ace hardware..i tried buying only like 8 bolts and nut onces and they charged me $2 BUT 100 nut and bolts cost $6.89.
WTF :D
If same goes around you then just get 100(make many joysticks for everyone you know.. :P)
