I got a set, and "dummy mounted" them on a piece of 3/4" plywood (the hole was 1 1/8"). A few things: if these sticks are bottom-mounted, do you think any routing is necessary? It looks like the 1 1/8" hole is big enough to allow for the stick's throw, and the stick is high enough to operate. Is it all just personal preference, or will I benefit from having the stick higher by routing out the bottom of the panel? Thanks! |

I would say it's personal preference, I prefer to have the joysticks higher up. So I routed out the bottom of my CP...No harm done. Xb0x3r |

comps were designed to be mounted on wood control panels. no routing required. Thats how they are mounted in the arcade machines. |
| ArtsNFartsNCrafts:
I figured so. Not to mention that these joys are going into a cocktail cab, so it might be just as appropriate to keep them a little shorter... So how about my next question(s): 1) Dust washer: On the panel, or below? 2) What kind of bolts? I'm considering carriage bolts. Having bolt heads on top of the panel doesn't really bother me. |
| Xb0x3r:
I don't like my plastic dust washers as they don't even match the knob...I plan to make some simple metal ones, and personally, I like the dust washers on top of my cp. For bolts, I bought some of those bolts that you countersink, just so I can wood putty over them. |
