It's possible that a thin Mylar washer between the legs & knobs would prevent movement of the legs from tightening or loosening the knobs. I don't find it necessary to have the leg pivot knobs more than finger tight when the legs are stowed or deployed. Loosening both knobs slightly before moving the legs and snugging them once the legs are in the desired position eliminates the minor annoyance for me.

One side get loose when opened, the other over-tightens when opened (sometimes too tight for my feeble hands to loosen again). They are useless as a ground spot (one of there intended purposes). If someone could come up with a nut that tightens in that whole, having a free arm for the kickstand, and a second, large pair of wing nuts with washers to use as a serious ground point.
