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.

Hardware store will probably have them in bright chrome, but not black. If you want black, you're best with either Happ or Bob Roberts. (And no, they don't come with the joysticks!!!)

I've seen some folks use a piece of hardware that you can flush mount under a piece of lexan or plexi They have 3-4 spikes and you basically counter sink an 1/16" or 1/8" and them hammer them into place. They have a threaded end that you then screw into from the bottom of the CP.
Somthing like this.

They are called T-nuts. I used them on my panel to give a cleaner look without screw heads showing. Picked them up at the local hardware store.

I buy mine at Home Depot. Just make sure all the bolts are the same. Some people are very inconsiderate and just mix up the bolts, makes me really angry >:( . The first time I bought the bolts I had some odd ones and had to drill the holes on my arcade stick to be bigger. Really sucked. Thanx.
