[COLOR="Purple"]I wanted to make my secondary adjustments tool-free. Hard to find pre-made thumbscrews in correct size & length.

Soooo....I made my own. $4.00 worth of threaded rod + some nuts and cap nuts.

Here are the parts before assembly.

[COLOR="Purple"]Here they are assembled.

I just jam them together...some LocTite might be necessary for ultimate stay-togetherness. wink
