Aluminum Head light,choke,and wiper knobs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

mekdad · 02-13-2009, 06:46 PM

$9.00 Each shipped.These use a 8-32 set screw (included) to hold them on.(not the cap screws in the pic ha ha )
If you want the head light shaft add $7.00 to the price,or you can go to your local auto supply store and buy a cheep replacement knob and use the shaft that comes with it (thats what I would be doing) because I cant find the triangle rod to make them myself.

**Hart_Rod** · 02-13-2009, 09:12 PM

Can you put the groove in them like the factory ones?

sdkid · 02-14-2009, 12:31 AM

Those are nice, but they will really pop with the grooves like then factory.

mekdad · 02-18-2009, 08:25 PM

Yes,I can make them with a groove or two.These have a slight dome on the face so they are not flat.I can also make them any size or shape.

msgross · 02-18-2009, 08:36 PM

Another member was making some that looked like originals but in aluminum. he had radio and cig lights too... If you can do those i'll take a wiper,lights,man throttle, cig lighter,radio(x2) for 6 total!

He stopped making them so I hope posting his link doesn't upset anyone...page two has the cig lighter...

suville · 02-18-2009, 10:17 PM

Buy Idaho! I'll take a set of 5 if you can do a cig nob too PM me your pay info

mekdad · 02-19-2009, 07:00 PM

I am only taking orders for this style,at this time. I have some different styles in the works right now.the maching cig lighter are in the works to, or I can make a simple plug also.

msgross · 02-19-2009, 07:08 PM

I will wait for a set with rings that resemble original one's... thanks

heyjoe · 03-14-2009, 02:23 PM

Got my knobs this morning. Installing now. Rain shower ran me inside.
Now I have a knob for my choke instead of a pair of pliers!

I'm very pleased with the construction and finish and they are lighter in weight than I thought they might be (that is a good thing).

The one nitpick I have is, I think the set screws provided should be longer for more bite of thread in the tapped hole.

Thanks again
Joe

I need 3 if you decide to go this route.

wiper / lights / cig

thanks, just let me know if and when you want to make a run.

Last_Paladin · 10-04-2013, 09:27 AM

Any chance you could make some headlight and wiper switch bezels? To go along with a stock looking headlight and wiper knob in billet.

I have a billet dash, so I'd like to jazz up the rest of it.

I have a stock headlight switch, and a Newport Engineering wiper switch.

The thread pitch/size on the Newport switch is 7/16" 28TPI... A longer shank on back would work, too.

I also have a GMC Custom. Any chance you make the badge that went on the glove box door?

So, if you can, I want knobs (sounds wrong), bezels and a GMC Custom glove box emblem.

head light 1
wiper 1
radio 2
cig lighter 1

don't need the screws or shafts

doubleRdazz · 10-04-2013, 02:36 PM
