Anyone want some new control knobs ?

Post by Natchamp »

gents,

I machined some new control lever knobs for my boat project as the stock ones were pretty haggered. I machined them out of black acetal (delrin) and while I was at it I used up all the material I had on hand in case someone else would like some. I figure I'd like to support the board as much as I can!

I have 25 knob assemblies left over but since there are 4 knobs per full set that makes 5 sets available. Just let me know and I'll send them out for free (first come first serve).

I got most of my parts from onanparts.com but below are some links to additional resources. For paint I just used rustoleum, they don't get "that" hot and rustoleum covers pretty good.

Acetal is pretty adverse to paint. It's slippery stuff, can't imagine anything sticking to it.
