OK - I measured the dustwasher and it is exactly 2" in diameter. It's a Sanwa and is made for sticks without the cover around the shaft (smaller hole). I don't have a clear one but I went ahead and ordered 2 of these: https://www.focusattack.com/clear-31mm-1-16-acrylic-dustwasher-fits-sanwa-jlf-without-shaft-cover/. It is a different size than the one I have (31mm vs. the ~51mm Sanwa).
When you size the image, can you make it a few different sizes? Like 1-15/16", 2", 2-1/16" for the 2" cover and 30mm, 31mm and 32mm for the one I just ordered? This way, I could just print them all and use the one that fits best. There is a slight lip around the dustwasher so maybe placing the decal inside of that would be best... not sure but I don't think printing a bunch will cost that much more. What do you think? I'm open to suggestions on how to make this work!

Good call! I'll see what I'd prefer. Honestly, I don't think the 1/4" will make a difference in playability but you never know...

Unfortunately, no. I tried this when I got home from work and it didn't fit. I am using a ServoStik and it has a motor attached to the side of the joystick to turn the restrictor plate so the footprint is quite large.

If I don't sink it into the CP I will definitely remove some of the mounting plate. I checked and I can definitely remove enough and still preserve the bolt holes. What should I use to cut the metal? The mounting plate is kind of thick...

I’ve ordered those and they are rather small in my opinion:

Sure thing. You want it in separate files or all in one?
EDIT:
BTW: the Sanwa JLF’s I measure at 1.48inches:
I grabbed the servo stick I have and yes the dust washer is much bigger:
The shaft diameter is the same. What I didn’t mention is that I bought the clear dust washers from Art’s hobbies:

He has the the JLF size standard, but can cut any size you want.
Mike A:
You ordered clear acrylic dust washers from some dirty stranger? I am insulted. Time to go cry in my beer.
Richie_jones:
Just use a grinder with metal disk to remove section of plate..
