Does anyone know what it takes to convert a VS nintendo stick to a 4 way DK?

Looks like its a matter of replacing the ball/shaft to 30mm, but I'm having issues finding the dust discs and collars:

TKG-23-14 - small dust disc?
TKG-01-70 - big dust disc?
TKG-23-29 - different collar?

Any suggestions? I may have to end up getting Mike's repro, I know they are great but I'm trying to stay true to original parts only.
 
You need to change the restrictor plate and the shaft to the longer one to use in a DK.
You could get by with the shorter shaft if you don't mind rubbing your knuckles on the cpo..
Here is a pic of the 2 different shafts.
The longer one can be identified easily by the squared end.
The collar 23-29 is shorter on the short stick but it doesn't matter.

I changed mine over by replacing the restrictor plate, changing the shaft/balltop, and replacing the bent arm actuator microswitches with straight arm actuator microswitches.
