I'd interesting in knowing as well what the regulation height for a stick would be.
Nacimroc:
Without hijacking topic too much, which is strongest way of mounting it ? under or over ?

i have two u360 bat tops in my panel.  I originally purchased the longer shafts, so i could bottom mount them on a 3/4" panel.  this put them at almost the exact same height as my old x-arcade sticks when bottom mounted.

however the longer shafts made the throw way too long.  so i installed the standard shafts back in, and kept them bottom mounted.  they feel a little low like this, but they are perfectly playable.  i think i will route out a little to make it higher the next time i redo my panel

I have the left image situation, but a little lower, as the washer is under the top plate. I mounted a small ball on it (30mm) and it plays perfect for the classics.

Oh, I didn't even think to try a smaller ball top, and I have one for a JLW that I'm going to make a Stargate-style controller panel out of!

I tried it and I think I like it better!  Thanks!

The mounting kit from Ultimarc has the wood inserts to avoid having screws on the top of the panel when bottom mounting.  They are 1/2" thick, so I may go ahead and route 1/4" in the bottom (did 1/2" last time like the picture) so that the ball is 1/4" closer to the surface than it is now and so that I can use the inserts.  I think that'll solve two problems for me. :)

I'll be ordering more small balltops from lizardlick as well!  Thanks for reminding me about that!
kowal:
corect shaft for balltop is 24-25mm (min 20mm, max 33mm)
for battop is 10-12 (min 8mm, max 15mm)
