Metal AC Knobs

it may be nicer bit after a little research, it wouldnt be cost effective on such a small volume of production like this. most things i read had a minimum price of anywhere from 75-125 bucks, when i can get them powder coated for a fraction of that.

That should be sufficient

Actually guys, ANYTHING other than those dull OEM knobs is nicer.

Modding a knob to work on the rotary mount is going to be cheaper route. You would either have to get custom lot manufacturing or a repropduction of one like the V6P.net style they had. Either way you use, would be costly, no?

but, .....Scanned into CAD and done; sounds the way to go with me.

I like the simple ones that are in the picture on page 4 pic the thread, the ones on the right. I'm gonna try and get some made like that

 

[Valet]

The ones on the far right? Or will there be an option for finish

 

[thatklazzickid]

im sure i could get them some polished and some powder coated black. the samples he should me when i went were just raw aluminum, they would def need to be polished to be acceptable, at least at my standards.

The anodized finish is appealing for knobs because it gives them that “spinning propeller” effect. I probably wouldn’t go for PC’d ones personally. Brushed aluminum or a nickel finish would be nice if that was an option. Polished is cool but I think they’d look out of place in our interiors. Either way thanks for looking into this.

 

[thatklazzickid]

Oh yah, that would be nice! Didn't think about that

Anyone heard anything about a group buy or getting these setup for us. I know it's been a minute.

^how much do you think everyone is willing to shell out for these? I have the tools, and software, to make an accurate digital model, and my friend works as a machinist and able (not necessarily wanting to) to do these.

for fabrication, many people think you just plop the digital model in the comp, throw on a piece of medal, and press a button, but it's not that simple. But if the money talks, he might be able to justify the hrs spent making these
