1936 Ford Cigarette Lighter Knob
So I bought a set of replacement dash knobs for my 36 and have a problem with the one for the cigarette lighter. In the picture you can see the knob on the left connects to the element with a stud and the stud and knob are all one integrated piece. The replacement knob looks like it connects to a different kind of element. Any ideas about what I've got here and can someone share a picture of a 36 element this new knob is supposed to fit?

Re: 1936 Ford Cigarette Lighter Knob
The replacement knob that you have is for the original lighter element. Your element is a later design and won't work with that replacement knob.

Dennis Carpenter used to have a 6 knob with stud to fit the newer elements. See insert from his catalogue.

Re: 1936 Ford Cigarette Lighter Knob
On another note old cigarette lighters are probably responsible for many of the vehicle fires

Good point. Mine is not wired to work, only there for looks.

If that's the case, just glue it on. If you want it to work, I'd get the Carpenter knob and a new lighter element locally to fit it.
