What Are These Called???

[jaky cakes]

Anybody know the street name for these knobs??
I'm trying to find a couple to make a panoramic tripod head for my camera - but so far unable to find any on the net - except RS which want an arm and a leg for a bag of 10. I only need a couple.
RS call them star wheels - but this name doesn't ring any bells on ebay etc.

Have a look here http://www.wdsltd.co.uk/Plastic%20ha...s%20&%20grips/ . At least you'll know what to call them

Are you just wanting the knobs, so to speak? If so, I may have some rigging bits knocking about here with those poxy things on. (I'm sure I chucked a bag of 'em somewhere whilst I've been clearing out). They would only be a bog standard nut on the other end though, not one with the handgrip jobbie on. I'll have a look if you like?

Please Matt!!
It's the handle bit i'm after - to tighten/slacken a joint without a spanner/screwdriver.
I need a a couple of female handles/knobs but can modify males to suit.
The centre threaded bit I can adapt to suit. I need to make them accept a short length of 1/4 UNC studding to mount one of my cameras.
hope that makes sense?
cheers

I'll have a dig round for them. Can't see them in here so they must be in the other shed. I have found some slightly different types, (four of), in here though. Round with a knurled type grip around the edge of the knob. They have a 1/4" or so threaded rod in them. I've no ###### idea what they are off.

Not technically a shed. I just refer to it as that. It's a concrete panel garage type thing, but with just a single standard type door, for use as the workshop. The other shed is the old workshop, used for storage and my wee gennie collection now. Same construction. This one is a bit bigger than that one, which is why that one is being cleared out for storing the Gipsy in.


Dug those knobs out. Pics below:




The smallest one on the left, there are two of those. Four of the one in the middle and six of the one on the right. They vary in width, (left to right, bottom pic), from approx: 35mm to 42mm at their widest points respectively. The top pic is reverse order, obviously. Apologies for my skanky photography skills, btw.
