Dom Carpenter makes elevation screws, check the stickies for sponsors.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Check out your local junk yard. Especially the larger ones that do large amounts of steel. They could have a valve wheel  (handle) that might be what you are looking for. They usually have either a square hole in the center or a threaded hole. Plug the hole and then drill and tap for whatever thread your screw is. Frank
