Right after I submitted this question, I happened to find a knob that has 2 little screws you can tighten down on the brass knob. I’d LOVE (and I’m sure everyone else would to) to know where I can find these to buy. It works perfectly in this (and I would imagine, all situations like this one). Grabs the brass, doesn’t slip, and doesn’t matter what shape that brass knob is. Basically ends all needs for any sort of adhesive, and any need to replace either the brass or the plastic.
It is sort of like the screws you use to tighten down the glass fixture which goes over a ceiling fan. I can post a picture if people are scratching their heads, and I’m sure someone will know a place to buy these. I have come across a couple of these randomly in ‘parts bags’ from motors I picked up over the past 8 months, and this if the first time I put 2 and 2 together, as they say.
Eliminates all the headaches of re-engineering a design that was more complicated than necessary.
