Screw knobs for tire skirts February 22, 2022, 12:23:48 pm Hi, I need a replacement black screw knob used to attach the tire skirts to the body. The plastic black portion has broken off one of mine. Can anyone suggest where I might find a replacement?As a new owner of LD (2007 27' mid bath) I am surprised and somewhat disappointed that I can't find anything on the LD website re: replacement parts. Anyone have a good source for LD parts?Thanks,Bart

Re: Screw knobs for tire skirts Reply #6 – February 24, 2022, 02:37:45 pm I had lost one somewhere shortly after I purchased my 07 LD (used in 2011). I ordered one to replace the one I lost and one extra. Just a thought.
Re: Screw knobs for tire skirts Reply #7 – February 25, 2022, 12:07:34 am A multi-leaf thread gauge like the one Kent mentioned is a good thing to have around--very small, and inexpensive too. But you can't always fit one of those leaves in where you need to make a measurement, and they can't tell you the diameter of a machine screw or the hole in a nut.So let me put in a word for this nut and bolt checking "necklace". It has 14 English and 12 metric pieces , each of which has a threaded stud and a threaded sleeve. The pieces are labeled ("1/4-20", "M8-1.0", etc.)... so you can screw a bolt into the sleeve end, or screw the stud end onto a nut or threaded hole, and quickly determine both diameter and thread pitch. Very handy! 1 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.
Re: Screw knobs for tire skirts Reply #8 – February 26, 2022, 08:38:57 am I got these: Big Horn 19705B-5PK 7-Star Insert 1/4-20 (5/PK) - - Amazon.com to replace the ones on my 2000 IB. I replaced all of them so they were uniform around and the rubber on the old ones was getting mushy. At least on my rig - the knob has to be female since the bolt pokes thru the tire skirt. The new ones were considerably larger but once I replaced them all and got used to them they seem just as well. Below is a pic of the old deteriorating knob and the new knob. I found it helpful to put a rubber washer between the knob and the flap to help it secure when tightened down. 4 Likes As an Amazon Associate Lazy Daze Owners' Group earns from qualifying purchases.

Re: Screw knobs for tire skirts Reply #12 – March 14, 2022, 09:09:48 pm I went with the Mothership after all. Pretty fast response after I mailed my check. Bought four, for $4 each. Total charge with tax and postage was around $24. Pretty high for these simple knobs, but at least they fit well.
Re: Screw knobs for tire skirts Reply #13 – March 14, 2022, 10:21:58 pm "Pretty high for these simple knobs, but at least they fit well."And worth the $$$$!Suggest you invest in a like number of nylon fender washers to be sandwiched between the bearing surface of the new knobs and the fender skirt. Saves wear and tear on the skirt! You may have to open the center hole on the nylon washer to make it work. 1 Likes
