Time to upgrade.
I picked up six cam clamp locks from Lee Valley Tools. They, unfortunately, do not come in metric sizes. So, I chose the 5/16"-18 size.

While at Canadian Tire, searching endlessly for wing nuts, I bought two 4-packs of 5/16" carriage bolts, 3½" long.
I've now adapted the tripod to the Imperial bolts with the cam locks. Awesome! They work really well. They are fast to use. There's another benefit (which I did not expect): I no longer need an additional tool (a spanner) to tighten the tripod legs.
