4way mounting plate

[SS427]

Hey everybody.

I have a question for anybody out there that has the mounting plate for the mspacman/galaga 4 way joystick from happs.  The one that doesn't fit very well in a wood control panel.  I am going to make my own mounting plate and was wondering how far does the plate go out past the edge of the joystick.  Also what is the diameter of the hole where the joystick goes through the plate.  I can't seem to find any dimensions on any of the sites.  

One other thing if anybody is using this plate.  I plan on making my plate flat (without the recessed  area typically on the plate).  Does anybody that has one see any problems with this?  Any particular reason for the recessed area on the plate?

thanks
