Ohhhhhhhh... the little stupid "h" shaped thing...

Okay.

Yeah, bead won't work. Personally, I like the design on some of the double horses where there's a peg, and the cover pops on and off, not screws on/off. Not as crash-worthy, but it would help disapate some crash forces, and is a heck of a lot easier to take the cover off/put it on.

There's probably a way to make one, but all I can think of is either resin-molding, or hot glue. (maybe add hot glue progessivelly around the screw and make sure you make it large enough to be strong, and get it in the hole that holds the thing from turning.)

I'm running low on hotglue, and I have annother project that needs it, but I might try for the fun of it sometime. It'd be crude, but if you do it right, it should work. I would put something like waxpaper on anything you don't want glued, and some beeswax or something on the screw. Then, it SHOULD be able to be unscrewed once cooled. The other advantage would be then you have the exact right hole length for the screw, and you have a more forgiving mount in a crash-not as stiff and ready to break.

I'd still find an extra screw to test it with, though.

Wait... The other option is to convert it to the DH "peg" design-take a VERY long screw from radio shak or wherever sells micro-screws for electronics, and put it in, and cut the head off, then maybe round over the threads and secure with lok-tight or other stuff like that. Then, it is just pop-on, pop-off, you just have to be carefull around curtains. (maybe round the edge too? just as long as you don't unscrew it)
