Noz Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm going to be making some custom knobs soon, as I can't get a response from the guy who makes them on the yahoo website (forgot name). Just wondering if anyway had any custom photos of their custom heater knobs. I think Im going to use 316 Stainless, in the hope I can get some rear covers and it will match as I know alloy knobs wouldnt have any chance being a close colour. I was even considering having some titanium ones made, but unless Supraman drives my car I couldnt see the benifit Ideas welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Scott they do look nice. What material did you use? Out of interest what was the OD T6 Aero grade alloy. I can't remember the OD but I remember it being around 0.85" (this may be the ID though, I honestly don't remember) or something like that. I shelled it right out so that they wouldn't be too intrusive, think the wall thickness was around 0.020". Stunning as ever Scott.

Paul Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Been there, done it, sold loads of ali ones years ago as the first hobbyist but later I made myself some stainless ones and they are much better but take longer to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I'll be interested if its similar to what Scott posted up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Will just be making plain ones to be fair, I'd like to possibly make knurled ones as well and possibly maybe a couple sets of silver plated ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
