Dust washers, on top or underneath the control panel?

I wish I had affordable access to a break press and a cnc. I just dont like wood for a control panel material. I hate having to buy tall buttons, extended joystick handles, etc. just to work around its thickness. Most times when you want to mount 'original' arcade controls, that were designed to be mounted under metal, you gott jump through all sorts of hoops to just 'screw something to a board'.
Pesky kids, get offa my lawn, and take your dust washers with ya!

The buttons you have to route out, but for the joys, why don't you just top mount?

Agreed, that is my preference as well.
BurgerKingDiamond:
for a thin metal panel I guess under is ok. But for a think wooden panel it makes no sense to have the washers underneath. You'd have these ugly massive 1/2 deep holes around the sticks.
