    Silver, mirror-like plating and I think you're 'Gold!' :D

    Id like several of them.

    You folks remind me I have not yet disconnected the battery for 60 minutes to adjust the clock for the recent ending of DST / summer time.

    One of these years I've got to send the clock in to get the adjustment knob working again. It did when I bought the car, but I broke it or something.

    They'll be available for anyone to print. I have no desire to ship a batch to individuals, but if someone want's to take that task on, they're around $5ea on shapeways. Personally, I'd use Alsa chrome spray to finish them, but probably won't for one.

    Maybe I'm just too dumb, but the search function is a PITA. I tried for 10mins. and found nothing. Since there's no such thing like an 'Advanced Search' it shows me each single 'knob' and/or 'clock'.

    Finally gave up.

    Best Regards
    Martin

    I think the clue is "they will" as opposed to "they are" ;)

    I made it public now, it's only a couple of bucks, but remember it's untested at this point. I may make some adjustments once I get the first one.

    Also, this was printed using the dimensions Mark provided. I did taper the tube where the rod enters. I made the smooth part of the knob 1mm high, but just looking at it, it might be a little too thick. I also might make the teeth a little deeper with more angle. They're at 15 degrees right now, the original looks like the teeth have more taper. I should get the first one this week.

    There are a couple of other parts up there that I needed and have made available to order: The Birdman covers, a spacer for the antenna to align it, a seat adjuster cover, and some Dino stuff.

    The clock no, but the button yes...
    It is a little bit expensive for a single button.... you can find some spare sometime (or broken clock) for sale.

    Just heard back from the Shape people that it cannot be made due to fragility.

    Too bad. This was a great find.

    For some reason, they printed mine, but won't print another. I'm working on the model so that it can be printed.
