I had the thumb screw break on my Renzetti also. What I did was go to
the hardware store and buy an "allen head" screw / bolt and took an
allen head wrench that fit into the screw and JB welded it into it and
left an "elbow" sticking out of the head. Sawed the elbow off about one
inch from screw and now have a nifty lever to use to tighten, instead of
the pesky thumb screw !
