ArtMAME:
If I remember correctly, they are just countersink wood screws.

The plastic joystick dust washer actually goes under the mounting plates and moves freely in there.  You screw the plates back on and the new CP overlay will go over it.

RayB:
I guess what I'm wondering is, did Williams mount their joysticks so that the bolts went through the top of the CP, like most companies did, or was this plate so that there were no carriage bolt heads on the CP?

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

SirPeale:
Dude, WTF?  I gave you an answer, and you're getting pissy?

RayB:
It sounded like sarcasm. You know, like "What's a monitor mounting bracket for?  A: For mounting the monitor."

What happened is the only reference I've seen is Prok's reproduction control panel, and in his small photo it looked like these metal plates are merely attached to the bottom of the wood. So I wondered what they are for, considering one could just mount to the wood without the plates.  But Artmame explained it fairly well. It's like trackball mounting plates, where it's flush with the TOP. And so now I realize Prok's photo was a top view!

RayB:

I have alot of work ahead.. It's kind of a turd right now.
