Has anyone made or fabricated or found any original-looking knobs for an electric windshield washer switch (New Port Engineering electric windshield wiper conversion) for a '53 Chevy dash????? I'd sure like to make a knob that looks like the choke knob or the light switch knob, but it seems like a lot of work, or else an expensive job at a machine shop.

You can buy the knobs from Jim carter and others and then fit them on with epoxy, a set screw or some other manner.

Personally, I'm using a replacement chrome wiper nob that I've drilled a little hole in and installed a set screw to hold the knob in place on the New Port Engineering switch.

I'm hoping to do something similar with the a/c control switches using light switch replacement knobs.
