RE: Heater knob. I went out to look at the part car's dashes and both
heater knobs are broken off cleanly as are the the starter knob. I do have
a very nice (and I understand fairly rare) wiper knob. Woophee!! I bought
my functioning heater knob/switch/cable from Motorhead. It works and looks
great.
