my adjusters

They've been on the bass for years and work really well. The wheel is about 1.25" diameter and 1/4" thick. The thread is 1/4". No stripping at all.

Did you make the wheel from scratch or were you able to find one off the shelf?

I didn't make them. They were on the bass when I bought it. I suspect they were probably made locally by Neville Whitehead.
Wouldn't be hard to make though, cut 1/4" off an aluminium bar and knurl the edges, then tap the centre. The hole in the foot is qute a loose fit, the feet can tilt a bit to match the curve of the top. But when the strings are tensioned its all nice and tight.
