hey THEMAN,
Currently machining the knurled metal knobs.
They are quite labor intensive.
In case you are unable to find the original knobs I have attached a copy of the machinist drawing for mine.
You can take the drawing to your local machine shop or send it to one of the online custom knob makers.
Given their labor intensive requirements I would expect them to charge you between 25 to 50.oo for machining each knob. vertigo

Thanks vert! If I dont piece them together from those links sly posted earlier, I may just 3d print them... Not a critical load part to have to be metal. But I actually have my own bridgeport mill and some nice lathes going down to desktop size for these small projects too at the shop... So a couple ways I can get these knocked out here.

Sweet! There is a 3d clutch cover on thingverse but not quite right. I may try to alter it to the correct look.

Yes, I saw the vxf site as well. I want to save those graphics and have them play on the screen of my batmobile but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

Here's a screenshot of my background:

Batmobile

btw: whenever I start my computer It says, "Initializing bat cave systems. Bat computer on line. Welcome back mister Wayne."

Here's how it's done:

1. copy and paste this to notepad

Dim speaks, speech
speaks="Initializing bat cave systems. Bat computer on line. Welcome back mister Wayne."
Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
speech.Speak speaks

2. Save as "welcome"

3. close the file, right click and edit properties. change file extension to .vbs
4. It now becomes a script. drag it to your startup folder. to get there right click start icon (windows) > Taskmanager > Startup
5. Next time you start your computer it will say this.

"Wow! That all looks great. Need to paint them now."

Hey THEMAN
Do you happen to know the correct colors for the components of the steering wheel?
Do you have any photo-images that depict the right colors? vertigo

I will see if I can do up some paint examples... But just from the Rizoma and steering wheel stuff I already have here, I'd say use a flat black spray coat, add the white indicator line on each, then a light rub of Emory cloth or 800grit for aging.
