SirPeale:
Naw, man; that's hella sweet.  I'm envious.  At least you have a bezel.

CheffoJeffo:
Looks good, RayB!

Once again you take home a project that makes me regret not being at the auction.

Like I said, Im not familiar with Williams cabs, so PEALE, what may seem obvious is not.

The mounting plates are just there to hold the dust washer inside.  The actual joystick mounting is done with bolts and T-nuts embedded into the wood.  Check out the pics:

The 4 outer holes (small) hold the plate onto the wood with wood screws.  The 4 inner holes (larger) hold the T-nuts and the joystick bolts enter from the underside of the CP to meet the T-nuts on top.

Ah!  I did the same thing with the Super High Impact conversion I got.  Except I used plexi instead of a metal plate.
