Anybody get lucky on eBay? I forgot and was cycling to the pub.
Price didn't seem too bad for a rare genuine item, congratulations to the winner.
I'm trying to figure out a reasonable minimum for a run of replica knobs, would I be able to sell 30-40 knobs/cables .etc

Seemed far too much for me, although I do want one. I do realise that several people are looking for one and they are unobtainable.
I have no intention of paying anywhere near that price. But Innes, I am interested in your reproduced ones. Please keep us informed of your progress.

Have you thought about reaching out to the suppliers to see if they might be interested? I suspect they are aware of the issues with availability and get a few requests for the knobs but don't have time/skills to address it. You might be able to secure a reasonable order size if they are interested.(Maybe just supply the dome and they deal with the cable parts.)

Hi Innes,
If you are gauging interest then please also count me in. I checked my dash and don't have the correct type - it is another Zephyr style knob, but black and white, looking not dissimilar to the Mercedes logo.
Regards
Will

Would you mind sharing the supplier who have the gel dome. I have a couple of original knobs/cables for a heater but am missing the gel dome and the fiery logo.
Slight change of plans.
I am currently looking at casting a lens or dome as my current dome sticker option is not good enough.
