Fixin’ my knob!

Randy, you are indeed the master. I pulled a few tricks from your bag and wound up here. I'd have 2 more if I hadn't messed up the inserts. It was really hard wood...

Could someone with a knob like mine get me a few measurements? I'm planning to make a few more.



That's my ugly one on the left. Thanks John.


My first knob...I'm told it's too small?!!?    

Thanks Greg, I would. We'll catch up soon; toss it in your glove box. I wouldn't mind a ride south whenever you put in.

I'd like to know the 'standard' length and top diameter...the rest is style! LOL

Thank you sir!

They are brass inserts...and you're close.
Bocote and Cocobolo

We have another rainy day here tomorrow(lake is way up!) so I'll get some more brass and try Wenge. Amy doesn't really like wenge, but I think it'll look great with the black dash.

Good lookin knobs BFN. I ordered a new one from ski DIM for 15 bucks. Now I polish it regularly......

Can't pass this one up...............Greg, if I need a knob job I'll be sure to give you a call. I got your # Dude!

Greg,
I have not been able to find any inserts with the right threads do you know a source?

The thread on my 93 Sport is 3/8 x 24

Greg, I have been told that my knob looks aged and used. I would be interested in replacing my knob with one of your nice younger looking knobs.

My Morse only has a few threads so the insert would have to be even with the bottom of the knob. I mention this because I picked up a knob at GL last year but the threads begin too far up in the knob and I could not get it to hold tight to the lever.

I hope it does!

JBear, you said it was too easy...have at it!   

Roger, you're a sik puppy, but I'll be glad to help!

Nice looking knob Greg. I'm not sure where you find these woods that I've never heard of but they sure are pretty.

Critter, wives have a way of protecting us from our age.My knob too, looks aged, but still will get the job done.
Pete will likely have a word on originality.Period correct will show its age but still perform the required task.

My 1980 is a 3/8 x 24 Thread. I just purchased a new one from Ski Dim this winter.

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!! I hear that you can go blind from polishing your own knob !!!!!!!!

I starting loosing my eyesight at 40 years of age. I will be blind by 50 but happy.

Thanks Donald, I'm sure skidim researched this and I have the 3/8 x 24 on the way.

Looks like I have a knob for every occasion now as mine will stay 3/8 x 16 ?!!?   

Greg, are you looking for decals for the hull?
