Thumbwheels for backplates

[adm3745]

Hello,

Recently I've been machining some Stainless steel thumbwheels for retaining tank bands or an STA to a backplate for my LDS. I have several pairs available for
$20.00/pair.
They are made of 316 Stainless, have a 1.5" Diameter and weigh about 3 ounces each. They fit the 5/16" bolts. I personally think these are a huge improvement over wingnuts. If anyone is interested I can post some pictures of them or provide more information. Thanks for looking.

For what its worth, These are very well made. I have been using a pair of these made from bronze for several years. When the source ran dry and Adam let it slip he worked in a machine shop, viola, he was able to duplicate the thumbwheel perfectly. If you dis-assemble your plate from your sta or doubles often, this is the way to go.

Nice job Adam, now go make that other slick idea we're working on. You sell a few of them as well I would suspect. I will try to grab a pick of these on my rig today at the store for you.

looks good
... I like the one with the finer knurling, I think it would be easier to turn after getting a little wear

I'm in for a set. I hate wing nuts. They're's the most obvious aspect of the wing/harness that's due for an update - they're archaic! If you have paypal we can get going.
