First prototype almost complete.

The prototype Y-Axis gib lock with U-joint almost complete.

The prototype gib lock in place under the table.

Next step is to make a knurled knob and a guide for the rod to hold it in place on the side of my chip tray.

Universal Joints for Y-Axis gib locks.

Coupler / 1st part of universal joint

The plan (in my head) is to make 2 of these per joint. One will couple with a screw head on the gib side and the other with a rod, which will extend outside the chip tray. I really should build all the parts at once but this is a prototype so I only want to complete one whole Assembly.
