Where can I get a Large Adjustment Knob for F3 Driver's Backrest?

[LateLifeCrisis]

Is anyone familiar with or knows where I can purchase an Adjustment-Turn Knob conversion for an F3 Driver's Backrest? Apparently it's a large knob that fits onto/into the screw that adjusts the driver's backrest. For those of us with arthritis, you know it's a big PIA trying to adjust that little screw with old fingers! Thanks!

you might try and take the screw to a hardware store and see if they have anything with the same thread but a bigger head. otherwise maybe a place that handles nuts and bolts for construction.

I haven't done it yet on mine, but I'm a big fan of J.B. Weld and have some in my shop. That stuff drys hard as a rock. I am confident if you take the screw out and fashion a big gob of JB Weld on the head to suit your fancy it will work. Am going to do mine tomorrow or next day.

Did this yesterday, letting it harden overnight, without taking screw out. Works great.

Would you be kind enough to post a picture of your finished project?

If you take your screw out and take it to a hardware store ( Ace, Do it Best, Lowes, etc) they have a selection of knobs that fit on bolt heads or bolts that have big knobs already on them. You should be able to find one that fits, and they are fairly cheap.
