Im currently working on the restoration of a Neo Geo. The console had damaged joystick posts, so someone just drilled holes in the acrylic and mounted some bolts in place. Im curious if I can get replacements of the original posts anywhere. I figure if not I can get some bolts with the same thread and file them down to the point that they fit in place. It had one post that was unattached and loose so it gives me an idea of what im looking for. Any help would be appreciated, im ready to get this thing sandblasted and powder-coated.

You're looking for self clinching studs. You need a press to insert them (you could maybe do it with a vice).
