I routed out just enough of the wood on top of the control panel to have the joystick plate sit flush with the wood (for a top mount) For some reason, it never crossed my mind that any kinda screw i use to fasten the plate to the wood will not allow the CPO to sit flush. did i screw my self? the only option i can think of now to hold the plate in place would be glue (these are u360's top mounted into 3/4 mdf) |

Can't you just use a flush mount screw?? |

the u360 plates are not countersunk |

also, how do i mount the trackball using the mounting plate.. i already routed out enough wood for the plate to sit flush, but again theres no way to secure it to the wood |
| Neverending Project:
I just had this conversation in another thread (link). Since you already routed the CP for top-mounting the 360s, I would suggest just getting a counter-sink bit that will work in metal, and drill a counter-sink in the 360 mounting plate. Then you can use flat-head screws to mount it, and hopefully they will be invisible. |
