Because since they are replacement shafts the customer would likely have one from the joystick they are replacing it with, in the other case if a complete joystick and base is purchased, it is included with the new joystick base itself.

The dustwashers that come with the Perfect 360's are made to go around that plastic sleeve that extends part way down the shaft. The hole in the center of the dustwashers is too big to use on a metal replacement shaft. I know because I was about to use some Wico replacement ball-tops on my project, but I've been looking for the right size dustwashers for a long time, but can't find any. Maybe I'm too much of a perfectionist (especially considering the numerous mistakes I'm destined to make during construction...), but those big-holed dustwashers are just too sloppy to be acceptable.

My point is, including properly-fitted dustwashers with the shafts would be a big benefit. I'm sure they will only add a few cents to the cost.

I will still probably order a couple of those shafts from you, but it would be great if you could include dustwashers, or at least sell them separately.

P.S. - I would have ordered the complete base/shaft set from you if I had only known before that these would be available now. Drat!!! :)

RobopedeII I think what Christian meant by the fact that his had a step on them is that the part of the shaft that the dust washer would go through would be the same thickness as the plastic step on the regular happ shafts.  That would make it fit perfect through the DustWasher.
