the centering grommet from my pac-man joystick was totally beat, so i had to remove it - i had to cut it in order to get it loose. that thing refused to let go off the shaft, but i won eventually 
i ordered a replacement grommet from bob roberts and when i wanted to install it today, i couldn't fit it on the shaft. have a look at picture 1: as far as i know (and remember from disassembly a couple of months ago), this is what it's supposed to look like. the black stop spacer followed by the centering grommet, then the white sleeve and finally the white actuator. note: my pac-stick didn't have the nylon flat washer that is supposed to go between the sleeve and the actuator, but i guess this is no biggy, right?
ok, on with the problem: as i've said, the centering grommet isn't wide enough to slip directly onto the black stop spacer - and because of that the rest won't fit onto the shaft. have a look at picture 2, this is how far the centering grommet slides in!
so what's up with that grommet? did i get the wrong size? is it because my pac-stick is NOT the textured ball top model?
i need some input, guys
