I just ordered 5 of them from Merlin for about $4 each I think. I didn't even think about the color....

I guess I will have to see what comes in the mail. The dowel idea is a good one.

Also, I have been thinking about an alternative to these made from large thumb screws with rubber ends (I'd have to post a photo). Basically, just tack weld a few bolts of the appropriate size to that metal bracket that houses the female part of the screw, and then use an appropriate thumbscrew to match. The only tricky part would be finding a piece to hold the screws in there once they are loosened....

I hear ya cluckin' Red Rooster...

I've had an alternative to the stock "E-Z breaks" in the works for months, but it's become kind of a back burner project.
I found some rather large cap screws, & by large I mean the heads on these things are nearly as large as the stock e-z breaks.
Anyway, rather than tack weld anything, I epoxied the proper size nuts to washers that I'm going to pop rivet in place on the bacl side of the female part of the stock location.
Is this making any sense ???

Just throwin it out there as an E-Z alternative to welding. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

Excuse me, that Sienfeld reference didn't go unnoticed, did it ?

I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.
