I made this block to hold the actual stop:
It will mount as press fit on the two carrier bars.
I am trying to decide how to lock the stop bar in place within this block. I am planning on 1/4" bar. I can use a thumb screw but I don't have much aluminum to make a thread in. I am considering a split cotter? I have never done one before. Any thoughts on this?

Here she is!
This works great! I will get a lot up use out of this. I can cut down the lever screws later.
Interesting that I ended up with 3 different clamping mechanisms. The proximal screw bears directly on the shaft. The next screw is a squeeze clamp and the last lock is a split cotter. I did not intend this, just how it worked out due to the geometry.
