... bicycle handle bar nuts fit the 7x bore.
I just tapped one to fit some 1/8" threaded tube used for lamps
(straight 1/8" x 27 pipe), bored the other out with some slop to allow
it to move up the wedge.
Welded a 1/4 x20 coupler to one end and used a pipe nut (modded to
straight 1/8" x27 thread) as a jam nut. The plastic 1/4x20 wingnut sets
the depth stop. The aluminum spacer gets it thru the change gear door
(I have a hinged door on mine with a captive thumb screw so it's a bit
longer..)
