Repro Joystick Project

I need are joysticks made to non-standard specs, for a
unique project that I'm working on.
I suppose that I could use standard joysticks, but I'd have to
cut(shorten) the shafts, find cover plates/disks, and C-clips, as well as find a way to cut the slot in the shafts for the C-clips. Not to mention finding rubber grommets.
Thanks.

Nintendo joysticks are very short.

Simply put we need to know what joystick these parts are supposed to fit on.

Well, since I said non-staandard specs and that this is a unique joystick project, that means there is no "kind of joystick".
These things have to be made from scratch since they don't exist in the sizes I may need them, and I am looking for someone who can do this kind of thing.

If you are in the US...
Find yourself an ACE (or other old fashioned) hardware store. Not a home depot/lowes, but a real life hardware store. They have all kinds of e-clips and grommets and knobs and fasteners, and so on.
