I would get the mad catz fight pads from vpgames.com, they are only 23 bucks a pop and easy to hack, that is what I did.

+1. If you throw the buttons away anyway then all you're left with is a PCB and a stick that, from what I've heard, is a tad on the crappy side. Get a Japanese quality stick from Sanwa or Seimitsu and buy what donkbaca recommended or one of these for an easy-to-solder-to PCB:

ive got a mad catz se which you can mod up with sanwa parts so im going to take it out of the case and use the top as a template on the control panel.
i should get the kit tommrow so i will take pictures and start a project thread. I am a bit worried about screwing into the control panel if its pvc ill have to see when it comes.

If it's the stuff I'm thinking of, it's supposed to be very strong. I believe it's often used in outdoor signage?
