Throttle, choke, head light knobs

[palmersparts]

Glass half empty/ Glass half full don't both means its time for a beer run???  all joking aside  we all have a car budget,to some guys that means a couple grand a month, (i wish) some of us work more on a couple hundred a month or less.  In my case its done more for the love of working on something simple with my dad and my kids. I always have a list of parts needed for the next step  or 10-steps down the road even..   On thing my dad told me the other day  that seems to be sticking with me...." you need 3 things to make this work  time, energy and money, hope you can get 2 out of 3!"  Im hoping with his time & my kids energy  this will get done....... oh crap  that means im the money...   I may have to re think things

Hay Bobby. All new knobs and cables just came up on eBay. The guys from American in farmingdale NY has them. All screw on and set screwed.

I just bought a set of the knobs fromVintage American parts. He had them listed for $132 or best offer. I offered $100 and he took it. He's sending throttle, choke, and head lights knob, 2- 49 "cables and 2 crome bezels to hold the cables on. This includes shipping I think this is a great deal.

I think we all remember that, for sure he has moved along and seems to have found his niche in life so to speak.....I have dealt with him a couple times and the transactions were favorable when I bought from him and again when I sold stuff to him.

ive been watching this forum for years there has been some brow beating and bullying time and time again and he got caught up in it and likes to fight back from what i remember.

Bottom line is he is a good man and his reputation shows.
