I thought the lower part of the shaft had a fatter section (to prevent the stick falling through the centre hole) which would not allow the wash to come off.  I might be wrong...

What Megashock said is right.  Oscar does a great job here (as always), but he's using plexi.  He (& I) do not want to use plexi...so wood is certainly not ideal for under panel washer mounting.  The only way around it I can think of is to use a metal mounting plate mounted flush into the wood.

While I agree most classic games have the washers underneath, many newer games have washers on top.  In particular cabs which use Jap-style sticks as these (usually) do not have the recess that Happ sticks have - I expect you could get around this by spacing the sticks down slightly with washers.

It never occurred to me to mount them underneath the plexi, but I don't think I would like it like that anyway, since I don't have any CP artwork to hide the disc, and
