Heater A/C control knobs

[redrider044]

I have a '78 928 that is missing a heater A/C control knob. I ordered one from Pelican along with the retaining clip that is supposed to fit all 928's thru '86 but it doesn't fit my '78. The stem/shaft part that should fit thru the control panel is too thick. I called Pelican & they said the knob for a '78 is N/A. I returned the part & ordered one directly from a local Porsche dealer & it was the same part. What do I do to get this part to fit? Do I file down the replacement knob or get a later model control panel or ???? Once again, many thanks for a great forum.

Pictures needed.

Are you restoring to original or just trying to make it work?

Just trying to make it work.

Sounds like if you can modify it to make it work without it looking bad, then I would say modify it. They already said it's NLA. Your only hope is if someone just happens to have a used spare somewhere.
