I have a 71 Demon with a bench seat... Looking for the small knobs on the upper backrest of the seats that tilt them forward.

Thanks in advance!
 
is that a small chrome knob shaped similar to those on climate controller?
 
One or 2 year only part :( . Herbs auto parts was the only vendor who had those and the chrome bezels too. First they were waaaaay over priced at like 40 bucks per knob, then marked down to around 13 each and sold out quick. Who knows if/when they will restock.
I have the knobs but on complete mechanisms. One has a broken pin. 50 bucks plus shipping.
If it was my car I would use some other knob, like the larger hammer head shaped on that goes at bottom of seat back in different model. I could put a set screw in those. Never loose another.
Knob pictured is climate control knob and has a set screw but you would need to whittle down the lever of you seat back mechanism to fit into it. It is closest match to original though.

Thanks for the good info, I think I just found some that will work.

I have a pair of those around somewhere, when I got to that point on my 68 basketcase restomod, I couldn`t find them, and filled a couple of aluminum spent 38 shells w/ silicone and shoved them on the little handles. They stick out more than the orig. buttons, are lite weight and are easier to grab, very solid too.
