If you're having trouble with unwanted joystick slop due to the gap between the handle and the grommet, you can tighten it up with some tape wrapped around the handle.
kowal:
I always use tapes but the problem of tape, the joystick does not turn.
shaft should be wider about 0,3 mm.

I measured 5 wico bases and handles. In all cases the grommet hole is slightly less than 9.5mm in diameter and the shaft is slightly less than 9.4mm in diameter. In all there is a 0.1mm gap. When the handle is "fastened" to the base the give is just about unnoticable.
I had some of the chinese clones and they had a 0.7mm gap. Now that was bad. I needed two layers of duct tape to get them to be even remotely playable.

shaft (9,45mm) and pivot (9,65mm) is metal . this will suffice to 0,2mm difference caused crunching. Fanta (and all corean sticks) has similar building but internal pivot cylinder is plastick - amortizes shaft better. they do not crunch.
