32 window crank knobs
Any one know where I can get dark brown plastic delux window crank knobs? Mac's knobs are more like butterscotch in color. Any other resource? Thanks,

Tom,
Because the '32 deluxe coupe knobs are unique in their coloration (dark brown with red highlights), I used paint for plastics from a hobby shop to recreate the original colors and then clear coasted them. |

Re: 32 window crank knobs
Dave,
That's a curve ball, and I took 4 years of art classes. Go figure. I have some good usable originals on damaged handles. Before I attempt to remove them and move them to good handles I thought maybe I could find usable replacements. Repairing the handles with the knobs in place is not an option since they would need to be re-plated after repairs which would destroy the knobs. I have 4 butterscotch knobs from Mac's, time to dust off my Van Gogh. |

IF you have a "sample" my Friend David Morton at "Unobtainum Products" can make them for you in the correct color!!! PM me or email me at [email protected] and I can show you stuff he's done both for our 32 and other cars!!! |

You might be able to start with a custom pen shaft blank such as these: https://www.exoticblanks.com/Acrylic...te-Pen-Blanks/, and then machine the knob.

I painted the knobs and clear coated them after I made the stainless steel handles on my 1932 - 3/W.
