That knob is a dzus-like one, isn't it? That is, a quarter-turn locks it, and another quarter-turn unlocks it? I've never seen that as an independent product. As a substitute, you could use knobs with conventional threaded shafts. Woodcraft and others sell those. That's how my shop-built motor cover is fastened on.

Ive used Mcamaster many times before, great company. For those of us on the East coat, they have east and west coast operations, so there is a good chance you can get a 8 pm evening order overnighted, if you are in a rush.
