Routing joy area question

They don't actually, but Turnarcade brings up a good point - if the pivot point is too far below the surface, the drilled hole will prevent complete movement - have you had that issue?

Nope, it's not even close to to hitting the sides.

On my first CP I had magstick plus joys bottom mounted (no recess routing) and then drilled a standard button hole for the joy and they don't come close to touching. However, they do have a noticeable shorter throw (unless you use the round restrictors, which I will be using on my U360's). To be fair though, they do feel a little short. They have the standard oval top but I then changed to the ball top and could feel the difference, not in a good way.

This time round I will be going for top mounted flush!

You could bottom mount and then use longer shaft or bottom mount with a recess (still could use longer shaft if you wanted). As for the slight gap for the recess if you mount underneath I am sure that it will not effect your gameplay! Unless you are taking a hammer to your CP, and with your sweet machine, I very much doubt you will be!!!

Another option is filling the gap! I believe you US guys use Bondo (I hate you guys, we UK guys can't get that over here!) but then you can't swap your joys out in the future and you could damage your joy in the process!!!
