Thinking of doing a Brody knob just for nostalgia, where would it normally be mounted? 10 o’clock or 2 o’clock? Left hand at 10 to be able to shift or at two for the right hand? Seems like all the old timers growing up had one and so did the tractors. Don’t get started on the legality, with research they seem to be legal most everywhere and it’s a myth that they are not at this time.

I mounted mine at 2 o'clock since I'm stronger with my right arm.

Watch out for careful drivers!!!
I'm away on an ego trip. Will be back on Feb 30.
I'm not an Auto Mechanic, but I play one on TV.
I charge $0.02 for every opinion and I take Paypal.
Plan B is always better than plan A, by definition.

I recommend invoking MIL-T-FP41c when machining and fabricating
I used to think beer was bad for me, so I gave up thinking.

Thanks, Larry - for getting me to search the Internet for information on " Brodie Knob - Suicide Knob [ en.wikipedia.org]" "A brodie knob (alternative spelling: brody knob) is a knob that attaches to the steering wheel of an automobile or other vehicle or equipment with a steering wheel. Other names for this knob include suicide, necker, granny, knuckle buster, and wheel spinner."

Tim, Glad I could help make you day a little more diverse and add to (like my mind) more unusable trivia knowledge! LOL

We always just called them steering knobs.
I have them on all my tractors. Most of them are at about 12 o'clock. I think the only one I ever had on a vehicle (back in my youth) was also at 12 o'clock. That one had a little lever that, when moved, would fold the knob down flat when you weren't using it.
