Will these fit Wico leafs?

emphatic:

Wow, I've always felt a product like this has been missing.  :applaud: Too bad about the incompatibility with SANWA or Seimitsu balls though. Ah, well, you can't have everything.

The short answer is: It depends on your modification abilities. 

I just made one fit, and it only took me about 10 minutes to do it.  The grooves line up, at 2 different heights, but the shafts are a little larger in diameter than the original WICO.  Because the shafts are aluminum, they can be more easily sized. So, it literally takes only a 1/2" chuck electric drill (not too tight and/or some tape on the shaft to protect the finish) and a small belt sander to make them fit.  One nice thing about doing it this way is that older, but still serviceable grommets can be a little worn out (mine was) and you can give the new shaft a nice snug fit if you'd like.

Do these work with a happ pac reunion joystick?

I was thinking about getting a longer shaft for my pac joystick so that I can mount it under 3/4" MDF without using the metal mounting plate.
