Does anybody have a selector knob for a mk4 type heater? Mine unfortunately disintegrated when removing for the heater restoration.

Cheers

An excuse for bling?

 

Wouldn't be to hard to make or adapt similar, for a fellow fiscal minded Yorkie.

Thanks but i'm after the standard appearance. I was going to make a mould from the original heater knob but it looks like it has been binned unfortunately. 

 

I guess if somebody could give me dimensions off theirs I could shape one from body filler or similar material

I might have an old heater with one on - I'll take a look but can't promise. 

From memory the hard part is getting them off without damaging them

Thanks.

 

Getting the old knob off was what damaged mine. I'm starting to wonder if its best just to make a new one

I'm pretty sure I've got one that came off an SPI plastic heater which I think is the same.

 

 

Just looked but can't find it >_<

Cheers guys!

I think I’ll put a post up asking for the dimensions so I can make a new one in case I can’t get one
