Thanks, it ain't pretty but it beats having to drill four holes and feed carriage bolts from the top. Besides can only been seen from the inside and doesn't affect the way the stick plays or looks and also keep things looking clean without obstructing your control panel artwork too.

Bolts visible on the cp artwork aren't for me either except on the trackball. :cheers:

Not acceptable for trackballs either Pete :angry: ;D
I used some pipe strapping used to support and hold them in place. You can sort of see it here in the picture and pretty cheap and useful to securing other things down too like computer power supplies, hard drives, cd/dvd roms, etc...
Here is some inspiration ;) I wish I didn't use bolts to secure my iL sticks but I guess in a way having bolts there sort of adds to the authenticity.

Mwong168, I thank you for the two great idea's of holding down the joysticks from the bottom, and the pipe straps to hold down other components. I couldn't figure out what the pipe straps were called until you told me. :notworthy: thanks brother. :cheers:

Speaking on MORTAL KOMBAT, I happened to catch an episode of MTV cribs and saw that Chuck Liddell has a MK cabinet. It must be some sort of multi PCB one or a bastardized cab cause the side art has Johnny Cage from MK cabinet but he is running MKII on it.
Also, glad to be able to help or give you some more creative ways to help your cabs ;)
