I've been trying to hunt down a small dual gang pot (16mm or less) that I can mount via screw/nut and that has a short solid shaft to match my other Alpha pots heights (so the knobs line up).

I've given up on that. I can't find one.

I'm trying to build a Sparkle Drive and it requires a 100k dual gang pot as the blend control. Is there an easier way to do this without using a dual gang pot?

If you have space (I don't know where it is going) you could use TWO single pots & adjust them both. Upside is it will give a wider range of results (but, unless thhe pots are both at the same rotation) volume level will vary.
Incidentally, I had terrible trouble viewing that circuit on my IE browser! had to go to irfanview & dick around..

Small Bear has 24mm Alpha Dual Gang pots.  I think trying to squeeze that in might be your best bet, I've been looking at some dual gang pots for a project of my own and haven't seen any as small as 16mm.

Edit: What do I know?  ;D

Not solid shaft but split, however Banzai in Germany have 16mm Alpha Dual Gangs.  Dunno how expensive an option that would work out to be though.  http://www.banzaieffects.com/europe/parts/poti_alpha.htm
