I ordered a knob for the side cowl vent handle for my '49 and can someone tell me what kind of clip I need to hold it on the handle? The knob is very loose on the handle so it must need something to hold it. Thanks!

There isn't for any of the aftermarket vent knobs, side or center.
5min epoxy might do it but it would sure be a bear to get off if you ever had to.

If you epoxy it, and then need to get it off, just heat the lever with a small torch. The epoxy will let go, probably before the knob melts, if its plastic. Around 150 degrees is all.
