I think the eye wants something too. Go with the Japanese ones. Those Happs are fugly.

So, you could just use a Dremel or a drill to enlarge the hole of the actuator ?

 Now recommending him to go with Sanwa or Seimitsu might be an option but this might be a problem if the person is looking for an easy swap replacement which the iL will fit in the place of the HAPP easily where as the japanese parts do not and would require some pretty big mods to fit correctly.

I have a metal on top of wood cp http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=97349.msg1026865#msg1026865
it looks like the Sanwa  JLF-TP-8T Ball Handle Joystick, 4 & 8-Way Adjustable might fit the spot for the happ stick is just right.
Need new buttons also have the Happ Ultimate Pushbuttons and they suck, they keep jamming so have to take them apart so its a smooth push.

Wow, nice score for $40!  Poor machine must have been in a very smoky environment or sitting next to the window in the sun all day long.  After seeing your machine I think you should still keep it american and put iL and replace all the buttons with standard or ultimate iL buttons.  I don't know what it is about HAPP but I've never had any problems with my iL sticks or buttons.
