mounting sanwa joysticks

hi, i'm in the process of building a cutom stick in my shop class and I was wondering if anyone had a pick of the mounting system Catch22 uses on his sticks, as I don't want metal showing on the top.

also, is lexan necessary? What if I dont' want an underlay, then can I go without?

thanks for your time

he just mounts it onto wood
drill it bolt it or rivet it

also lexan is the easiest material to work with
you can use wood, or just paint your lexan if you dont want an underlay
