That's the ticket. Got some for my S10 Stage One. Amazon seller. Makes the setup easier.

If you only need 2 to replace them on 1 steel guitar. Check local Ace Hardware, In the drawers at the nut, bolt, screw section they have them, They sell individual. They have a brass nut with threads molded in the plastic. GFI have a type of those nuts that are standard on their pedal bar.

Those look nicer than the run of the mill wing nuts but be sure and check for the correct size. Those 1/4" parts in Larry's link seem too large even for P/P's, but I may be wrong.

I know the guitar I'm playing has 10-32 threads and some others have 10-24 bolts/studs...so check before ordering.

I installed knobs to attach the pedalbars on both of my GS-10s. Lots easier to find than wing nuts when they fly off the studs.

I used star-shaped knobs like Jack's to replace the set screws securing the legs to the body of my Sierra Artist. You get a nice good grip with these things and they're easy to find, particularly in poor lighting.

As mentioned above, be sure to get the correct thread size - found out the hard way there are a couple!

Jerry 1/4 -20 is the correct size for most PP’s, I ordered them and put them on 2 PP’s I have, worked great after all of these years, what wasn’t I thinking.
