I’ve been using my Red Bull Racing Thrustmaster wheel setup and honestly, it was fantastic for a long time. But after two years of heavy use, I’ve completely stripped the threading on the bolt. Now, whenever I try to tighten it down, it just keeps slipping and spinning without catching. It’s an 8mm diameter screw, about 6cm long, and it features a plastic tension lever at the end.

Does anyone here have any insight or a lead on where I might find a replacement part like this? I’m really hoping it isn't just some basic, generic screw that would force me to constantly strip the wheel apart with a screwdriver every single time I want to adjust it... :/

You can actually snag some wing bolts on eBay.
Something along the lines of this

My biggest headache right now is just figuring out the thickness, because even though you mentioned 8mm, I'm totally tripping over whether those M8 markings are actually what I should be looking for.

You could also grab one with a plastic handle if you want, which honestly makes it look way less like a random hardware store bolt.

I spent forever hunting down an OEM bolt for your steering wheel, but man, I came up completely empty-handed—there’s just nothing out there.
