T-Stick Plus Dust-Washer and Mounting.

Witchboard:
Thanks everybody for the info.  I'll email Andy when I get home.  Just to be safe.  Don't want to end up splitting my ball top or anything.  
jcoleman:
I've found that the dust washer only moves minimally (it's negligible, really) when the joystick does.  Therefore, assuming you get the hole centered perfectly around the shaft, you could drill a hole the size of the ball (slightly larger, I guess) and still not have to worry about exposing the inside of the panel.  Note that I have not tried this myself.  Now if anyone's been able to modify a Wico balltop shaft to fit a T-stick...that's something I'd be interested in...wonder if the command and control sticks could be modifed, since they are longer...hmmm...

If you DID split your balltop, and then glue/tape it back together, it would be more arcade accurate though.

Heh, yeah, then all I'd need is some cigarette burns to complete the look.  ;D

Just for the record if anybody else was looking for the answer:
