    Does anyone know where I can get the knob that goes on the cowl vent actuator? This is the one under the dash.

    sucha deal

    For 6.49 what a deal I was going to make one on the lathe out of aluminium
    I had one that just came apart in my hand a few weeks back I guess it was bakolite and had seen better days

    Hey 51 HHR if you make one out of alluminum would you be interested in makeing two and how much would you charge me? I really like the idea of the alluminum knob to match the rest of the stuff on my truck.

    The real fun begins when you try to glue it into place and it keeps falling off or sloughing off center every time you turn your back on it.....

    I used Caterpillar epoxy (good stuff !) and ended up using some Scotch Tape to hold it steady whilst I went off and did other works , it was fine after sitting all day :rolleyes:

    Let me know, I love the idea and haven't seen any other alluminum ones. Thanks
