    I had a guy that builds custom hot rods make a knob out of aluminum stock. Its not a perfect match since the ribs are crossed and not straight up and down. He drilled to far in for the rod and there is a pin hole in the middle but it will look great polished. Its still needs some buffing on top. What do you think?

    It was not Larry Miller. I will dig up the business card and let you know who it was.

    I need one for my 67 WILDCAT CUSTOM Con. The knob on my car came up missing one day.Been on the lookout for 2yrs. I think mine vibrated loose and fell off on the road somewhere.
