Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a restrictor plate or something that I can use to convert my Wico 8-way leaf joysticks to 4-way??

You need a different bottom plate that has a diamond hole instead of round. The jury is out color, but all the 4 way stick bases I've seen are grey. Keep in mind a previous owner might have drilled the 4 way diamond into a round hole for 8 way. The actuator is smaller for a 4 way stick.
 
You have a heavy duty 8-way stick. To make it 4-way you need diamond shaped restrictor top and bottom and a 4 way actuator.

I went OCD on this about a month ago. In the below video at 12:30 I show a 4 way heavy duty stick.

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. It's got some top notch information in it. Was recently needing to confirm things about what joysticks I have to complete a few projects and it really helped.

...and necro-bump, but I think it's worth it.
