Star Wars yoke gears

Anyone good with gears? I need to get some replacement small gears for
my Star Wars (yes, I know you are saying don't we all). There is that
fancy yoke controller rebuild kit on eBay, but for $50-$60 plus shipping
it seems a bit much.

Browsing through the manual, I discover that the two different 'small
gears' are thus:

Tilt Gear (up and down) - 14-tooth Spur Gear (Atari Part # 040249-01)
Pan Gear (left & right) - 28-tooth Spur Gear (Atari Part # 178101-003)

McMaster-Carr doesn't have a suitable replacement but Berg certainly
does :) (www.wmberg.com) However, we now get into pressure angles, pitch
and pitch diameters, hub, no hub, etc. Not my forte. Here are the two
that look most promising (and likely the same ones that can be found in
the rebuild kit on eBay).

14 tooth, 24 Pitch, 1/4" face aluminum spur gear - Berg Part no.
P24A66-14
28 tooth, 24 pitch, 3/16" face delrin spur gear - Berg Part no. F24D5-28

Anyone able to figure out the exact replacement parts so I don't ruin by
yoke controller?
