Billet dash control knobs.

Matt asked about getting them made for the 521 truck guys. Datrod has agreed to make them. How ever I told him to find a cost for him to do them, and then take deposits and a minimum will have to be made. They will be pretty much just like the factory ones except billet and anodized.

Headlight

Wipers

Hazards will be in red.

 

Please respond if you want a set.

Shouldn't he do the choke knob, too?  I know not everyone uses it, but it is stock to the dash, and it would be an incomplete "set" without it.  It would also be nice to do the heater lever.  I can supply all the knobs as samples as long as I get them back in the same condition!

 

In for a set.

Seeing a sample rendering would really be cool.

 

 

I guess interest would dictate price...I could be in for a set if not outrageously expensive.

 

 

Other matching bits would be cool. Door pulls, window cranks, radio delete plate. Ash tray?

Heater levers would be a huge bonus.

 

 

Matching 521 steering wheel hub that actually FITS without being ridiculously long.

I can ask him but I myself don't want one. So maybe he can make a extra one and leave blank. Engraving he said is a bitch for him.

Actually there are two different thread pitches for the 521 or maybe one is for the 520 I havent looked at the part numbers to see if there was a change but here ya go.

I will plead ignorance, but doesn't the screw thread into the shaft and not really matter to the knob? I see you have different head sizes shown...I would have assumed they would be the same size, but I'm not near my 521 or parts stash right now.

So Ray, does John need the knobs to copy?  I'm pretty adamant about wanting the choke knob, even though I'm going EFI eventually.  It seems silly to not make it if doing the others, especially since it will limit the market if we don't.

I'll take a set.

 

I also suggest that the choke knob be made too.

Will there be choices in color of anodizing, besides red hazard switch. I want the others in green. And blank ones for the window cranks.

 

Any idea on price yet?
