Gorrila Glue = No Bolts for joys
patrickl:
You will not be able to remove it easily if you use a coverplate which is then covered by a CPO. I guess it's not a problem really if you don't think you will ever want to take it a apart. On the other hand I liked to keep that option available (for addition of new controls or replacement or something) So I went for the "mid" mounting. Use a thinner layer of wood (or lexan or whatever) on top and a thicker one on the bottom.

Why don't you just use wood screws and attach the joystick from underneath? You might need to get a longer shaft for the joystick if you aren't going to route any material away underneath though. This is what I did on my current cabinet - the joystick will be secured using 4 wood screws. I don't think it will move once the screws are in place. ??Here are some pics (of course the screws aren't in yet but you get the idea).
Couldn't you do the same thing but without routing out the material like I did? Would this work or am I completely missing something?

It is impossible to mount the trigger joy to the bottom without signifcant modifications to the joystick - -which by the way was 105 bucks! It is not anormal joy. The normal joys can be bottom mounted no sweat. Only one giving me issues now is the mounting of the trigger joy. I might end up using bolts through the top for that one. Wouldn't be optimal because you could see them on the top but at least it would only be 4 instead of for all of the joys.

I would just use Gorilla Glue.
;)
Seriously, just mount it from the top and be done with it.
patrickl:
if you open up the handle, can't you mount it from below then? you will need to take it apart to put the dust washer on top of the Cp anyway. I really doubt the joy was designed to be mounted from the top.
