Thing-o-Matic inner rod plate
After taking my Thing-o-Matic apart a few times I got tired of trying to hold the little nuts with my finger tips.
I designed this so the M3 nuts will fit somewhat snugly. You may need to tap them in with a small hammer. Be sure to tighten them all the way when installing them on your Thing-o-Matic as they will need to be fully seated.
