You don't need to disassemble J-Stiks, just unscrew the ball top and remove the dust washer, and fit the stick from underneath.

edit: and no, use a 28mm hole.

Sorry, but I'm a bit confused.   :-[

Does this mean I need to cut a 34mm hole to fit the joystick from underneth?  I thought you just dismantled the joystick, fit the base and then slid the shaft through, and reassembled.

Is this incorrect?  ???

The best way is:
Cut the exact size that you can see if you uncover the plastic cover so that the shatft can move freely. Note that you have to leave some aditional size if your CP is thick ...

But yes ... I believe 34-36 mm should be Ok ... test on a shoebox before going for the CP ...

Good advice....but from experience I can tell you 28mm is enough, even on a thick wood panel.

One thing to watch if you DO use a bigger hole, is that it is not so big that when you move the stick the dust washer moves, and reveals the hole...
