    Does anyone have a set of knobs for the Headlight and Windshield Washer switches? Don't see any on eBay. Mine are a little worn. Any idea where to get them?

    Thx,
    Mel

    They fit and look like they were made for the car, got them at Autozone. O'Reilly and Advance carry them too.

    I saw a set of knobs on a Maverick a few weeks ago. Come to find out he got them from Lowes in the cabinet know section. I had to do a double take when I found out! If you didn't know what the originals looked like you would never know!

    1976 - I'll have to take a pic. The paint is peeling off of them. I guess I could just paint them but I'm lazy lol.

    Car is covered til Sunday since its supposed to downpour again. But I'll take a pic Sunday or Monday when it comes back from the glass guy.

    I just used a silver paint pen on the original knobs and it looks great! No more peeling paint.
