restoring knobs & switches
Is there anyone out there that restores knobs & switches? I dropped a set of gauges off with Jon Frampton and would like to see about having th eother 'dash parts' brought back to a similar condition.

Switches we do not have, but Dean tooled up all the knobs and they are not bake-lite plastic like the originals.onsight512 wrote: Fri Sep 24, 2021 11:29 am Is there anyone out there that restores knobs & switches?

Re: restoring knobs & switches
Light abrasive polishes work well on the bakelite - like simichrome or Brasso. Odds are you will have to repaint the letters/icons. One Shot White lettering paint works great. Lots of videos on the web on how to do it. Takes a little practice. I practiced on my old broken knobs...
