Wow those bat tops look sweet, yeah there is definitely room for other bases, I'd love to have U360's/Sanwas that lit up :)
Cornchip:
  The Sanwa's could be modded to LED's as easily as the Happs. The U360 is another case. The circuit board on the bottom would prevent the use of a jack at the bottom of the shaft. Maybe there's another way.

 I'd like to get my hands on a pair of Sanwa JLF's to mod. Anybody know the shaft diameter thru the base?

I hope this helps cornchip  ;D
Cornchip:
  Great diagram Kaytrim. That's just what I needed. Thanks!
 
 Comparing the Happ's to the Sanwa shaft, I can say the shaft diameter's on the Sanwa's are 3mm smaller at the circlip end. That would be to small for the jack I mounted on the Happ's (it had a 8mmx1 thread).  I could however  thread the end of the shaft with a 7mmx1 thread (external) and make a separate threaded bushing to adapt the larger jack (3.5 mm female). Another option would be to locate a 2.5mm 4 pole female jack and see what size thread it uses. Hopefully it would turn out to be 6mm (1/4 inch).

Kaytrim:
I tried to figure out the threads on the shaft but my tool and die set didn't match up well.  Ask Numski, he should know he makes custom ball tops for the Sanwa sticks.

btw the ball top that I have is 35mm in dia, they also have a 30mm ball and bat tops.  Semitsu makes a 30mm, 35mm and a 45mm ball top that fit the Sanwas.  So you have your choice of types and sizes.  :)
