    Anyone know where I can source repro knobs? The original ones are made of plastic, an ivory cream colour, and all look the same, ie starter, radio, lights and choke.



    This is for a Model 61 Terraplane but the knobs are common to all the '36's I believe.



    I found one of the radio knobs in the boot, but a rat had gnawed away at it rendering it useless.



    I tried one place that did repro radio knobs from your pattern but it was too busy to help!!

    Yup, I need a few of those for my 36T also, if somebody jumps on here with a source.



    Otherwise, we're gonna have to get one of Eastwoods plastic repro kits and make us some.



    Let me check with Ken Ufheil. Seems he or his friend Steve does this kind of thing. Whoever makes them should do a few more for K-Gap maybe.

    I made some up 40 years ago for my 33 Terraplane 8 out of nylon on a small lathe, Still good.
