HELP! What screws/bolts do I buy to mount everything?

Kevin Mullins:

They might.
Check in the "specialty" hardware section.
They usually have the drawers with unique fasteners and such in them. (stainless steel, furniture, nylon, etc type stuff)

Keep in mind the diameter and lengths when looking.

you will find zinc & stainless but probably not black these are very hard to find that's why i sell so many

I plan to bring the joysticks and trackball with me to the store.

So let me get this straight (just to be sure):

Joysticks (for each one):
-  4 Carriage bolts (size and diameter will fit holes in joys)
-  4 nuts that fit the bolts
-  4 lock washers (is this needed?  Not sure.)

Trackball:
This is where it gets strange.  I ordered a blank panel and the trackball will be flush mounted to it with an overlay preinstalled.  As such, the trackball plate is already in the panel.  All I have to do is drop the parts into the empty panel and the trackball is where I am getting confused:
Do I still need bolts to secure the trackball to the panel?  Or does the trackball plate already have bolts sticking out and I simply have to slide the trackball in and then buy 4 lock washers and 4 bolts to secure to the trackball plate?

**  One other note, I am assuming that everything will be mounted from underneath since I will be having the overlay pre-installed.  In that case do I need to buy wood screws? **

Thanks in advance to everyone who reads/responds.  The bolts issue is something I overlooked when researching at the beginning of my venture to build a CP.

Just out of curiosity...did anyone else see a post by me in this thread, or did I forget to hit the post button?
