Wanted Seat Recline Lever Knob

[KettleCarver]

I am looking for a passenger side seat recline lever knob. Must be in very good condition. Like the one below, only for the passenger side.

Let me know if you have one you are willing to part with.

Thanks,

Marty

The picture can't be opened... there are 2 different knobs... Mk1 seats use one that is common with a series 4 Alpine. Mk1A and Mk2 use a different knob common with a series 5 seat...

That is strange. The picture shows up on my computer. I'll see if I can attach it.

I have a Mk1A, so that is what I am looking for.

late type... same as series 5 Alpine

A fellow Tiger owner has had molds made up to make replacement plastic knobs to fit the seat recline levers and expects to make them soon. He will send me some samples and I will keep you posted!

He sent me a sample last weekend which I test fitted to a steel handle I had. Fits well and looks like original with the same dimensions-here is a photo of an original at the top and the copy below.
They are made from cast plastic Waiting on him to tell me prices and contact info and will share when I hear from him.

Thanks Michael but all I did was encourage him to make them. Now he gets to market them!

To all,

I’ll post my contact information, price and order details on Sunday. I appreciate your patience. The handle caps are slip over type and will require gluing in place. My first run at making handle caps was with a mold over form. Thanks for you interest

Best regards Don
