I think there are a couple in the FAQs and Help sticky, that's usually where ya find all the good stuff and the first place you should look.  ;)

My brother works in a machine shop. Tomorrow I will pick up a screw he made for me. it has an extended un-threaded section past the threads. It will allow me to file it down until I get the forearm pressure I want with an o-ring...totally repeatable every time. If it works out I'll let you know. I think this one has an allen head, but if anyone is interested I could get him to machine them with a coin slot sized groove for quick disassemvley.
