I have a red octane box which ima add happ buttons and a JLW-TM-08 sanwa stick.
I was planning on bottom mounting the sanwa stick and putting a nut on the top of the shaft of the stick to make the stick higher. but it still looks short and i would like it higher.
So i though of top mounting it, and was wondering if i can just cut out a square on the box so the bottom of the part of the stick fits, and the mounting plate stays on top of the box, well this work? or do i have to cut it in a certain way for it to top mount?
My other questions is the wiring of the pcb to the buttons and the joystick. im thinking of wiring this way like sexy instructor’s joystick.

Im pretty sure i connect the wires from the pcb to the barrier strips and then then connect the new wires to the other side of the barrier strip and connect them to the buttons with quick disconnets (correct so far?) the only thing i dont know is how to connect the ground wires to the buttons and the joystick with the barrier strips and the quick disconnets. since u only use one wire from the pcb for the ground.
and what are the best quick diconnets, and barrier strips to get? and what wires should i get as well.
