Richard, we made our own out of timber. The method was as follows: Turn or buy a knob (wooden, naturally
), drill a hole and fit a bolt or piece of all thread of the required diameter and epoxy in the hole, we use fibreglass body filler. For the threaded insert we just use a "t" nut. Hope this helps.
