Does anyone have experience replacing the choke, Heater and Lights, 'emblem' on the original black control knobs please?
Gone are the days when you had to purchase extortionate priced new old stock cables, as stick-on replacement Emblem or motifs are available from numerous suppliers.
Although the existing motif looks like it needs to be removed, when upgrading to nice new designs - question is how is it best replaced?
I've tried levering it with a screw driver, soaking it in hot water, etc but the original is proving difficult to remove - any ideas by people who have achieved it this far???

Hi there
I believe the knobs were originally in two separate pieces (or three if you include the clear window) screwed together. Good luck getting them apart though, I couldn't. I think they may have been glued together when originally assembled.
