I know if would be additional 'rigging' to prevent the spinning, but conceptually it seems like it would work without much trouble and even a couple wooden blocks tacked into my CP could work. And even a little 'play' wouldn't be too bad.
Or, you could just drill a hole though some wooden blocks and thread the rod all the way through :)

I'm not convinced spinning will be a problem during game play anyway. Someone take a look at the cocktail tron stick and see how it is designed.
I would however be concerned with one of my toddlers continually twisting the joystick around continuously (for the heck of it...kids ::) ) and eventually snapping the wires for the button.

Here is a link to a possible solution:

These are the current 1up Tron stick shafts for a 49-way and SUPER base based on the same principle
Oscar also had some nice examples, but his website is inaccessable from the home page right now.
conseit68:
that might work...i could "nub" the shafts. but that would mean people would have to "slot" the base and I am not sure people would want to do that. I know i wouldnt mind but some might and I would really like this to be a simple replacement.
RayB:
Ideally the spin restriction should be at the pivot point (the point where the joystick tilts when moved). On a Wico, that would be the grommet.
