Instead of that miserable little thumb screw at the bottom, here's what I did with mine. Replaced the short bar with a long one and put a knob at the top. Also made the foot come off with a small knob and have the mounting plate pinned for locating it properly for those times when I want it completely out of the way. I prefer it coming out the back, so I also modified it with some squashed PVC pipe for a better connection and fit (did that long before doing the height adjust, so that thumb screw is now gone).
Where did you get the white connector????
