That's pretty nifty! I'll take a photo tomorrow of my solution to what is obviously a common problem and post it here. Come to think of it, with all our different ways of replacing those $#@%&%$ plastic knobs, we could start a pretty impressive thread dedicated just to this. Counting my own, I have seen four different but effective fixes on this forum since Wednesday night (it's Friday night now)! I went with a long lever so I could do the 180 degree tension release thing when I finish using the machine.
