Good base for a Tron stick

[mahuti]

I've got a tron joystick base (that someone here on the board repro'd years 10 years ago). My problem is, I need a joystick with a strong enough base/strong spring to attach it to. None of the stick bases that I have, are good enough to keep it centered and to make it feel tight.

Anyone have any ideas of what I could get to attach this to?

It looks like I could go and get one of these night mission sticks as a base and maybe one of these bases if the one I have doesn't work.

Anyone have any good experiences with the Night Mission stick?

This is going to be coupled with an old Oscar Controls (remember them) up/down spinner
