Sail track thumbscrew

Does anyone know of a source for the knurled thumbscrew which keeps the sail slides from falling out of the track??? I seem to have misplaced mine over the winter.
Thanks

I have two sources of obscure and random hardware

and [URL="http://www.smallparts.com/"]http://www.smallparts.com/[/URL]

One of these should have something that will work for you, possibly better, (or at least cooler) than the original.

What I can't help you with is the thread size for the knob. Someone else will have to help you with that.

Bob,
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the knurled knob has a 1/4-20 thread. You could also use a screw or bolt in the hole. The only downside I can think of is that you would need a screwdriver or wrench when you take down the main, as opposed to just using your fingers.
