I had a guy at Home Depot cut the threads off, then cut a piece at 60", ended up with another piece of scrap that's like 55" that I'm going to use for a Viking Press station for my wife.
Somebody asked about this on another forum. I suggested to put a locking collar or clamp onto the headrest posts so that they settle to the desired height.
Something like these, but find ones that fit the headrest posts.

Hard to tell from the blurry pic (seems like it's bad pic day today), but looks like a shaft collar.
Like this:

Honest question. Why pay for that rather than paying for a generic 1.25" (or whatever diameter your tube is) shaft collar like this for a fraction of the cost?
I found this to be the EASIEST way to get them running or at least evaluate if it's even worth bringing them back. If this doesn't work it may be worth re-evaluating if its worth actually reviving them or not. many times older models are hard to get parts for when things inevitably do break it can be rough. If you do decide to restore at that point, you can get compression back in your motor for pretty cheap and get clamps from amazon or a local hardware store. LHS (Local Hobby Shop) is a good place to replace any cracked tires or rims, or any flat spots on the tires/foams. rebuilding the shocks with some shock oil from LHS. A new radio can be a little cheaper through the traxxas power up program if your LHS supports it, but as you can see its not cheap for a new radio and its pretty important to replace them. the older radio frequencies are so overused now that interference is common and your precious nitro that you spent all that time and energy on will get throttle locked and take off on you and blow a motor or destroy an arm and it can add up pretty quick. so again, new radios really are a must. you can also choose to replace motors through the power up program but its a more expensive option.

If you do decide to restore keep us posted! welcome back to the hobby!
Haha! Yeah, thanks. I built it with a tripod mic stand I wasn't using and got the orange Pamona Test Lead Holders and an appropriately sized clamping collar to keep it at the right height and still be able to spin it around to access cables on all four sides.
set screw and collar

or you could flatten one side of the shaft and press something on.
Could be, maybe something like this and this together? Obviously not the correct sizes.
Oh right!! 3D printing. I had not thought of that.
I saw a youtube channel once This guy had a nice vintage radio with a chicken head knob. He made a silicone cast and then used black epoxy to make his own knob. The tools and amount of work and detail he had to do to make it look good. He had a slotted shaft so made a small spring clip inside the round hole he drilled though.
But. for 3d printing. What if you 3d printed a knob to fit on top of metal collar with a set screw already in it. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Lovejoy-LSC-10-Shaft-Collar-Plated/dp/B007JOHR9W/ref=lp_16411961_1_2?s=industrial&ie=UTF8&qid=1570770594&sr=1-2
you would need some kind of epoxy or maybe just a good friction fit to make the 3D printed part stick over this collar. And drill a hole to get to the set screw maybe. Or if you can. attach the collar and friction fit the 3D printed part over it?
Link to the appropriate sized shaft collars for anyone interested I used two each side, but I’ve seen people just use one at the top as well. Personal preference.

Just starting on my ball stretching journey . But I was in the same position as you as to I didn’t want anybody finding my package and opening it . Well I found a very nice item on amazon with is a metal collar of some sort and it work perfectly . Maybe they sell them in local hardware stores ? Or if you have amazon it’s possible to get it delivered to a Dropbox and a near by location and that way it doesn’t go directly to your house. That’s what I did for my self. Here’s the link ....

Why do you need a second dumbbell?
I got a couple of these set screw collars that are awesome for keeping the weights in place. They use a 1/4 inch hex key which is mildly inconvenient.
