Sega Astro City Control Panel restoration

[cham0mile]

Hey guys. So I'm trying to restore a Sega Astro City Control Panel to wire it up for 2P console/PC use.

I already have an Astro repo metal panel I got from Jasen's Customs and a new coin sticker.
I also have some paint and sand paper to retouch everything.

I threw in some Seimitsu buttons and would like to use a Sanwa and Seimitsu stick.

So my questions would be:

What kind of screws and nuts should I look for or invest in to hold down the panel and general housing?

Should I use a wood base for the bottom or get something cut out at TAP's plastics?
Or should I just look for an original control panel base?

Any other general advice would be very helpful, thanks.

And of course the panel:

The problem is that the base of the control panel is actually the same piece as the whole front-bottom of the cab:


You might need to do something make-shift if you want to attach a bottom. Another option is to find a Blast City control panel enclosure like this (they are removable form the cabinet):


For holding the panel to the enclosure, these are what you need:
