Wimberley MH-100 Clamp Knob

[Box Brownie]

I did have to use more force than I had anticipated to get it on the first time. After that it could be removed and reattached quite easily. It remains a tight fit though and won't slip off.

It didn't ever look like being 2mm out though. I would get back to Wimberley for advice.

I tried again with a different grip and application of pressure (more akin to and isometric exercise hold close to the chest) and it snapped into place (so to speak) and could be removed straightforwardly

The little pips I described have been slightly flattened but still there.

Mine as well did need some force to put on but not extraordinary (I am not a very strong person). I haven't removed it since and cannot try that now as it is packed away already in the suitcase, ready for my flight to Ecuador tomorrow...

Thanks for your reply, as above I have resolved it......and feel kind of sheepish as I did not want to "force" it in case I ended up damaging it.

I wish you a safe journey and a wonderful trip to Ecuador. I will look forward to seeing the images....if you can tag in on a thread or two of them when you post any that would be welcome

Thanks for the reply and feedback

I will get my micrometer on it to see what the measurements are?

Though it seems that I will need to apply greater pressure. Based on what you say, the 'pips' I mentioned will be squished a bit as a result of that force and then be flatter......meaning the knob can be, as you said, removable as appropriate.

The knob stays firmly in place after a hearty push to get it on - if it had not gone on after a few attempts I was going to warm it gently with a hairdryer but in the end I did not have to resort to that. I think the first few attempts wore some of the rough plastic off the pips which then made it go on. There is enough left on the pips to hold it in place.
