Grasshopper:

Although 3.5" shafts are difficult to mount on to wood I prefer them because I think the 4" shafts make the joystick's throw too long.

I'm thinking inside the box.  Since you're making them from scratch, they can be any length.  I think 3.75" would be nicer than 4".

Grasshopper:

How about a 3.5" shaft supplied with a 0.5" metal sleeve and extra groove so it can be converted to a 4", or would that add too much to the cost?

That sounds like a good idea to me.

Additionally, I just posted a thread here about how I got a Wico stick to work in my Ms. Pac Reunion joystick base (which is basically a Happ Super).

Thanks for the information quarterback. I will look into what your saying. Without a little more testing though, the idea is for shaft replacements without any additional parts for the end-user to have to purchase. As for the firing aspect...I am still stumped but working through it. As for the Wico shafts it seems we have concluded a 3.75" shaft. I am simple so thats what it shall be :)
