Also, depending on price, I may buy some metal fascias as well. _________________________ = Taym = MK2a #040103216 * 100Gb All/Colors Radio * 3.0a11 * Hijack = taympeg

Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	I'm not sure what you have planned for the knobs but these may be useful. I've got a set of the Kilo knobs from digikey that I'm going to experiment with over Christmas. I've also got a couple of the MGW knobs on order. They have several different styles. I'll post some side by side comparison photos for the Kilo knobs. Note! The set screw in the kilo knobs are approximately 1/4" from the end of the knob. The NewFace is 1/8". To get the Kilo knob to work, I had to remove the lower lip on the knob (~1/8") otherwise the set screw doesn't make contact. Source for MWG here.

peakmop journeyman Registered: 02/07/2004 Posts: 95 Loc: 384400 km from the Moon	Is it possible to drill some holes around perimeter of the knob and fill them with clear epoxy for the lighting kit?

Mach old hand Registered: 15/07/2002 Posts: 828 Loc: Texas, USA	As Rob mentioned, for both the original knob and the metal knob pictured above, yes. I like end glow fiber instead of epoxy though as it transmits light much better
