Early Switch Knobs?

Lawrence914 · 09-22-2002, 06:42 AM

Are the knobs for early switches available, or can someone recommend an updated look? The ones I have are aged and cracked.

The switches themselves are fine - but the knobs are ugly. Any suggestions?

TIA,

If Pelican doesn't sell them, I know Tweeks and Performance products do. Do a search on the Pelican parts page first.

Yes, I checked Pelican. They sell the entire switches, but not just the knobs. I'll check with the other usual suspects. thanks!

I got them from Stoddard in the past.

They are "I hope you're sitting down" expensive, for a little piece of squishy rubber.

Hi Chris!

Are there less expensive options, that still look good? Obviously, this will never be a concour car, so I have the flexibility to be creative, within the bounds of good taste.

One thing you can do, is simply remove the black foam rubber covers...underneath are perfectly good hard plastic knobs.

From what I recall, the earliest 911's didn't even have the rubber covers.

It may also be possible to fill in the cracks on your existing knob covers and then paint/dye them back to dark black. I never tried this myself though.
