Tool free Sanwa JLW-TM-8

Perfect, just the answer I was looking for! Thanks a lot. I am definitely not going to buy an Omni2 when my sanwa works just fine, and you are right I do not have room for the servo. I can always buy some springs and figure out what works best. At least I know the screws and washers now

+1 on the Omni2. If I remember correctly, one of our members bought some and swapped out some parts for the better feeling Sanwa parts creating a Hybrid. (I think it was MGB but not sure).
If you want it automated you can always get the Ultimarc servo stick, but I doubt you have room. http://www.ultimarc.com/servostik.html
To answer your question about the parts: I had contacted Andy at Ultimarc.com a few years ago asking the same question and he replied with,

On ours we use M4 x 25mm screws which bottom-out in the hole and stay tight but then you would need the springs to fill the gap... The springs were determined by a lot of trial and error which required investment in 10 different spring samples. So these are special."

Finding the correct spring is the hard part. But here are the rest of the parts:
