Now that I've realized my choke cable is aftermarket and that I can get a new cable with a handle that's the plastic with white embossed picture....

Does anyone know of a source for plastic knobs that look similar to the originals for heater and lights?

I'm in the process in making replacement knobs and washers. I currently have molds for both. I'm waiting for my laser cutter to arrive so I can have engraved logos. This way logos don't smear over time. I'll keep everyone posted.

You'll need to make another set of molds. The knobs on the earlier Patrols are different.

If anyone has any extra knob/washer or one so that I can borrow please PM. I don't mind
making a different set.

I have the older set. I can supply the Throttle knob if that'd help. It has a T engraved in the front - the heater has H, lights has L... I'm not sure how you'd be able to make molds from those without having exact ones, though.

Not a problem, I do this for a living. Please PM and I'll send you a set for the help. Thanks!

I think this work is stunning. Its amazing the skills that members of this forum have.

Be great if you could produce a few for spare parts for others.
