Jeep Wrangler hard top quick-release knob

thingiverse

I wanted to install quick-release knobs on my Jeep TJ to simplify taking the hardtop off. There's lots of cheap bolt kits on eBay and Amazon, but I didn't care for the fact that the heads are all small. I wanted nice large knob heads to make it easy, and kits with large knobs were too expensive. So I whipped these up in an afternoon. The design receives an M8x35 bolt. I purchased them from Lowe's in packs of two for $1.30 (see pic). After printing, just press a bolt into the hole. The head fit is tight, so you may have to use some tools (i.e. tap lightly with a hammer).
