What's a good source for bolts with integral plastic knobs. In particular, I'm looking for 1/4-20 x 2" long bolt with a 1" to 1.25" plastic knob. Thanks.

Typically what is used is a socket head screw (allen head)with a press on plastic head. Lots of sources for these, my local Home Depot has a good selection of both Stainless socket head screws as well as the press on heads in a variety of colors (red, black and maybe white.)
McMaster-Carr is another source.

Lee Valley Tools has a good selection of knobs. See http://www.leevalley.com/hardware/page.aspx?c=2&cat=3,43576&p=52800 .
I don't know if any of the bolts on the male knobs are 2" long. If not, then you could use JB Weld or Loctite to fix a piece of 1/4-20 all-thread (of any length you like) in a female knob.
Good luck,
