i believe that one will work for you

Does anyone know if this would this also retrofit to a Pixy or Alphas? Great work!!!! it would not. the knob for the td-z/steez/ect, is too big in diameter to fit on the pixy or alphas sideplate That is truly disappointing. @jjbassnforfun: I think that should be your next project, lol!
