Default Knobs?
With the recent angst of some knobs not being available (and my selling the only 1937-41 cowl vent knob in my stock) I decided to 3D model it and 3D print a sample as a backup for the hobby/industry. The sample is printed in semi-clear/white PLA, many other colors are available.



These knobs appear to be still in stock from Carpenter, unless that changes I do not intend to market them.
