My 30 year old red plastic mixture knob finally cracked in two during startup today. Has this happened to anybody else? Does anybody know a source for this little guy? I can find the entire quadrant for sale at the mothership and at Spruce, but not just the little knob.

Here's the entire quadrant for a visual aid. https://shop.vansaircraft.com/cgi-bin/shop.cgi?ident=1582008609-180-240&browse=controls&product=quadrant

Give Van?s or Spruce a call and get a contact number for the manufacturer. I?ll bet they will fix you up in exchange for some good PR.
Good luck

VA-104-3 red knob. Call to confirm. Mine are made of wood and I had one split a while ago and found these.

I knew VAF had the answer. Thanks all!

If Van?s doesn?t have it, try McFarlane. They have a lot of stuff we use.
