My Tee Nuts don't hold well. :(
Franco:
Drill a pilot hole 0.5 - 1.00 mm or so smaller than the O/D of the t-nut shaft, countersink it slightly and hammer them in for an interference fit.
I used this method and mine have taken some severe punishment n havent even shown a sign of moving.

The flat part of the T-nut is supposed to go on TOP of the panel so the screw tension pulls them down and holds the joystick tight.
See how OSCAR did it: http://www.oscarcontrols.com/sinistar/index.shtml

BTW, mine are mounted from the underside of the CP and Ive had no problems but them again they are pass through nuts. I got mine from B&Q in the UK so I cant help you out stockist wise.
