    Re-labeling a bakelite'62 Valiant/Lancer dashboard knob

    Thank you so much, sir! Nigel didn't happen to be working today, but I spoke to Dave instead and arranged to buy it. I didn't even know that National Mo-Parts existed! I really appreciate it. And I agree with you, Dave was very nice to me, so it seems like they are very good to deal with...

    Re-labeling a bakelite'62 Valiant/Lancer dashboard knob

    I don't think it would be possible to reproduce the knob by 3-D printing because it has a quite irregularly-shaped slot in the back, designed to retain within the knob the spring clip that holds it on the lever.

    I can't find this stupid knob to complete my resto. Will another knob work instead?

    I have been totally unable to find a p/n 2258 495 park lever knob for the Torqueflite shift mechanism. It was used on the Valiant and Lancer in 1962 only, and I'm attaching a picture. Assuming that nobody has one they want to sell, would any of you guys know if maybe I could use a different knob...
