    Does anyone have a source as to where to buy an AC/Fan control knob? Know this is a small thing, but it is the only thing lacking on a 1986 Testarossa restoration and I can't seem to locate one. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Rob

    I'd create a Google alert on your search terms and hope for the best.

    I wonder if someone could recreate the knob using a printer? That'd be an interesting school project.

    I'd ask the nearest Univ engineering school prof to take it on as a challenge.

    3D printer is a great solution, until you can find a real one. You would need to borrow an original to digitize its dimensions? Probably even use black plastic.

    Thanks for your reply and as you suggested I have enclosed a couple of pics showing the AC fan and temp control knobs. The one I am missing controls the fan, but the two knobs are identical. The knob is about 3/4 inch in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. It slides onto the "empty" post that you can see in the picture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards. Rob
