New safety knob for smaller AP mounts

I have never been satisfied with the existing solution of counterweight shaft safety knob - plastic knob with large, easy to loose in dark washer. Therefore I have designed and got manufactured a new, one piece safety knob. This one is made from aluminum, with brass threaded rod and some stainless steel locking screws. IMHO nicer and easier to handle than the original.
