Clash of handles on bead roller

Hi All
Following on from the https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/...op-fence-75842 I was unhappy that the anti flex brace hand clamps clashed with the middle stop adjustment hand knob. This would frustrate me so had to come up with a workable solution. Due to the diameter of the plastic handle I decided to use a smaller diameter knob but this in turn had a smaller diameter thread. To overcome this I simply drilled the original 10mm studding and tapped it M8 and loctited two pieces of studding together so the knob could be attached to the 8mm stud. This then reduced the knob diameter but still maintained the 10mm thread required to clamp stop/fence shaft securely.

Hopefully the photos will clarify the method used

Silly mistake to make but was able to come up with a quick fix
