On the lookout for YTM200 rear rack knob/bolt. Anyone have any laying around???

On the lookout for a pair of YTM200 rear rack knob/bolts that allow the rack to swing up so you can service the trike. Anyone have any laying around??? They are available online NOS but they want $26 a piece and I'm not sure I can justify that pay that for a bolt with a fancy knob on the end. I know I could just find a bolt that fits with a washer but if someone has a set I'd like to get it back as original as it can be without breaking the bank.

PM me if you have some or suggestions on how to make my own using a standard bolt. 205735

Anyone??? Any ideas to make one? Where to find a knob?

Not sure of scale of handle, but a couple of options:

Knob looks similar to adjuster knobs found on office chairs. Maybe glue the chair knob to correct thread/sized bolt?

A more function over form idea would be using a replacement round knob from a hose bib. Again put appropriate thread/sized bolt through middle and glue or bond through middle or even a carriage bolt if it has the same square hole.

I bought a long bolt and the hand knob for mine. Got both for under 8 bucks. Works great.

Buy the hand thing like this here

Hardware store should have both.

They look close to stock and Good enough for me.
