Wrong diameter and curvature. Also not sure there is enough threaded depth on the inserts to retain a solid mount. But a good idea...
EDIT: Actually, such a good idea I went out to look. It would work except that the knob threads are only about 1/2 inch deep and I'd have to remove almost 3/8" of the ball to match the nut diameter. Damn, that would been perfect.
If I could find any smaller-diameter lock nut in this size I'd be set. Maybe I'll see what I can do to grind down a stainless hex nut, as suggested. I don't have a lathe but for such simple work There Are Ways...
