Guide to: DIY LED Joysticks

I took the easy route, got shafts from http://www.thludwig.de/arcade/led_sticks.html
I have red and blue bubble tops lit with red/blue LED's, looks great. These are U360's - not used since the upgrade, so I can't speak to the issue of the stick spinning issue. (Reminds me, I still need to cut the escape hole for the wires.)
Beretta:
so... anyone have a ready solution for happ comp's? bat top?
these ball tops are nice but have'nt seen anyone do thi to bat's yet, and comp's is probably what i'll use for 8 way's

@ FrankoB
Thanks for the tips. All good to know.
@ IDS
Say what? On a separate CP I am using the u360's forgetting the spinning issue for a moment, how did you get past the magnet issue? I'd assume all the hole boring and wires would through off the magnet alignment for joystick movement. (Or did I read your post wrong).

The magnet issue has been solved here: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=90384.0. The ones I bought are perhaps aluminum or something (non-magnetic). I'll need to glue them on when time comes. The post I reference mentions adding a bit of a groove to push the wire out of the side. I haven't done so yet, but it looks easy enough. Franco B, the key of that earlier post, mentions cutting the groove for you, if need be. I think I can handle this myself, when time comes.
