Happ Competition Joys
ArtsNFartsNCrafts:
I got a set, and "dummy mounted" them on a piece of 3/4" plywood (the hole was 1 1/8"). A few things:
if these sticks are bottom-mounted, do you think any routing is necessary? It looks like the 1 1/8" hole is big enough to allow for the stick's throw, and the stick is high enough to operate. Is it all just personal preference, or will I benefit from having the stick higher by routing out the bottom of the panel?
Thanks!

I would say it's personal preference, I prefer to have the joysticks higher up. So I routed out the bottom of my CP...No harm done.

comps were designed to be mounted on wood control panels. no routing required.
Thats how they are mounted in the arcade machines.
ArtsNFartsNCrafts:
I figured so. Not to mention that these joys are going into a cocktail cab, so it might be just as appropriate to keep them a little shorter...
So how about my next question(s):
1) Dust washer: On the panel, or below?
2) What kind of bolts? I'm considering carriage bolts. Having bolt heads on top of the panel doesn't really bother me.
Xb0x3r:
I don't like my plastic dust washers as they don't even match the knob...I plan to make some simple metal ones, and personally, I like the dust washers on top of my cp.
For bolts, I bought some of those bolts that you countersink, just so I can wood putty over them.
