We've all seen these standard mounts, that use a hex nut to tighten onto rails.  Anyone know of a ball bearing/QD flip switch type lock that can be installed on them(obviously thread sizing specifics are needed)?  Bueller?

Talking about something along the lines of a cam lever similar to what ADM uses in their mounts?

It's been done by a few folks in the past with fair success, but with the availability of cheaper QD mounts today (PA, Burris, etc) it doesn't make much sense.

Were one to try it, a trip to the local bike shop would get you a wheel skewer (quick release for mountain bike wheels) that is the same thread as the cross bolt in some mounts and can be made to work if you are creative.

Yes, a cam lever(couldn't think of the word).

I hadn't thought of the wheel skewer, I'll have to check it out.
