trying to source a wiper switch knob.

[RichC]

looks like ours has gone awol . googled this morning in vain for a replacement...
I know it's from ford consul/ mk1 escort originally but there just ain't any out there.....
looks like '60s triumph knobs are similar but there are quite a few different shapes and I'd like to try to hone in on the nearest approximation to the original.
I can't imagine I'm the first one to be in this situation ... so this is for those who've already found the solution. please share .
thx

Bit more than what I think you are looking for but just saw this.

not a help....but an option.......
it took me about 2 years to find one of those wiper knobs and I had to pay over the odds too......
however in the meantime just to appease my sense of OCD I changed all the knobs of that style and shape with new ones of the pull out variety that are for the MGB......think I paid about ?3 for 6 knobs.......just made all the knobs matching......
just a thought.........

Rich,

Can you post or email a photo of one? I might have one.

Rich, they are from an Anglia not an Escort, although there are none on ebay for an Anglia currently.
They do come up quite often though.

You should have said, I had a few, I gave a few away, but I'm just down to one spare at the moment and as Mark says they come up on eBay quite often and for not a lot of money.

Rich,
Did you find the washer knob you were looking for. I have just found the correct type and you are welcome to the TR4 type I have used for the last 5 years if you want it F.O.C.
