Guide to Properly Mount Joystick Underneath CP?

[Charles4400]

Is there a step by Step guide that anyone knows of on how to Properly mount a joystick underneath the CP?

Building my first CP panel and don't want to screw it up! But I do want a flush top so decided on bottom mounting....

Any tried and tested method that most use here?

Thanks!

Have a look at the sticky above 'How to make a Top Mount or Under Mount Joystick Jig'

[Charles4400]

I looked at that but that seemed to primarily be a guide on how to create a jig for your router...

I was thinking  more along the lines of which are the best screws to use (t Nut or other?) and if it were possible to only attach from the bottom without additional holes up top for screws etc, etc....

Is this all I would need for the under mount (other than router etc..)

But then do the nuts still go on top of the CP, they lay flat, and the screws on the bottom?

I know this is an old thread, but there have been a bunch of posts asking the same thing. Check out this site, it's primarily for building custom control panels and has a lot of great information:
