Title: Seat Knobs
Post by: zcarlson12 on December 10, 2013, 06:32:21 PM

I had a local machine shop do these for me and thought I'd share. With the knurling on there you can really get a grip and tighten them down. The guy said they are very easy to make so I talked to him about some other parts and now he's making me a bunch of stuff. I'll post more pics as he gets them done.

Any thoughts on adding little holes for the spring to attach like the oem omf knobs utilized?

I asked him about it originally and he forgot to do it to these. He said if they do end up coming loose, which I highly doubt, then he could put the holes in there for the spring.

they will back off and it probably wont take long. thats why there are so many mounts with no knobs for sale. look good tho. definately be ez to use also.

Good point scar. I guess I'll have him drill the holes for the spring and be done with it.

I know the only time you loose them is when you do not tighten them down. My others have held for years.
