Looking for a pair of Luggage Rack Knobs. Anyone have any to sell or to lend me to get a casting made? Email me at hnathattglobal

I'm going to have some made for my car. I got a sample from a friend last week when I was at Hershey. Would you like me to have some made for you? It will be cheaper the more I make. Anyone else want some?

Bruce

Bruce,
Thanks for the update. I definitly want in. Let me know how much you need via email at hnathattglobal. Put 33 Luggage Rack Nobs in the Subject Line so I'll know it you.

Hey John,

Well I talked with my guy this weekend and the problem is the knurl. We are looking at getting something to do it right. So I'll let you know what happens, but I need them for Flint next year so they are going to happen.

I'll keep you posted.

Anyone else what some as well? It would make them all cheaper that way.

I would be interested. Saw a vendor in Hershey that had some reproduction knobs that were close, I think they were 30.00 each. Could have been made from stainless,threaded but without 3/8" stud,as I recall.

Before you get into making the knobs you might check out McMaster Carr. They have a lot of knobs available, that I have found are very near to a lot of vintage automobile knobs.

That's a good point. I forgot about them and MSC. I have purchased alot of good supplies from them over the years that helped me out!

Can someone post a photo of this knob? I would like to know what it looks like.

Mike

OK, give me a minute and I will post one.

Hi Guys,

Here are the pictures everyone has been asking about. I really don’t think that you would be able to find something like this at Mcmaster Carr. If I was willing to use something close then I would use what I already have. If you do find then I’m willing to eat my ……..! You fill in the blank.

Thank you, I will keep my eyes open.
Is that a regular 1/4 or 5/16 fine thread?
Mike

5/16 fine

Pump Jockey,

I met a vendor in Hershey that will recast the knobs if she has a sample to use. Do you have the one that is in the picture? If you have one she can make them up. I will look for her card that I have at home.

John

Hi John,

You talking about the Lady with all the SS parts? I think she was in the Orange Field?

Bruce

Just an FYI, in about two weeks I sould have two set of these Knobs for sale when they are done. They are looking really nice.

Thought you guys might like to see the finish knobs, just need to have them chromed and they are ready.

Bruce

Looks great...how much are they.....after u have them chromed...would be nice to have them in stainless,just polish out no rust

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to put this out there one more time. I just got a request to make a couple more sets of 33 & 34 Luggage Rack Knobs. Anyone want in? The more we make the lower the cost.

Let me know.

Bruce
