Late Series flasher switch knob

[bernd_st]

Need one of those. Just the plastic knob is fine. There was a guy on eBay who offered repros, but missed it...

The eBay guy is Pete Hemmings, aka Rootes 66 on this site. Try sending him a PM via the site. He isn't here every day like some of us, but frequently enough that he should see you message within a few days.

Hi Pete-hope you are well! Was hoping to see you this coming May but not with all this virus stuff going on. Next year for sure!

Sorted indeed. Pete was kind enough. Time that I get rid of my ugly compromise which is a Lucas connector with the rubber hose. It fitted and worked since I have that car. Recently the whole arm went loose so removed all the rust, painted and fixed it with 2 component glue. Time to put the correct knob now...

Just so everyone knows for future reference, Pete/Rootes 66 is ambergranite on eBay.

What is a flasher switch knob?
The end of the turn signal switch!

 

[hartmandm]

Ok. The knob at the end of the stalk.

Were those originally plastic or bakelite?

 

[65beam]

They appear to be plastic. I have a few of Pete's items. He make's quite an array of items.

 

[hartmandm]

I think I might need one for the knob on my OD stalk. I assume it is the same...

 

[bernd_st]

Yes was talking about the the stalk knob (see the picture). Would assume the OD knob has the same shape...

 

[alpine_64]

Bernd, i aasume this is for a late series car you have? The early cars have a different style knob, like a stretched version of the toggle switch .

 

[bernd_st]

Yes, it's for my Series V. Actually my all day "workhorse". It's the first one I brought back to life after the long winter season...

P.S. Happy Easter

Anybody have a non-eBay email address for Pete? I've tried contacting him through the club's PM about getting some of the stalk tips but haven't gotten a reply.

Thx, Mark ….. v

I don't like to share email addresses without permission, so I just sent a link to this thread Pete. Hopefully, he'll get it and respond.

Thanks for the assist,Jim. I'll try to be patient.
