Window Slider Knobs

[Ilmor]

Wanted - 2 window slider knobs just like the pic. I need just the chrome handle parts but will take whatever I can get, even just one would work.

Thanks.

Which reminds me, if anyone has one of these, more or less perfect, I can take a mould off it and cast these in rigid "chrome" resin with a nutsert captured inside.
Mould taking process is non destructive so it would come back completely useable!

John, let me know if anyone offers one up. Would happily purchase a couple from you. Was contemplating 3D printing a couple in metal but need one, regardless of condition, to be able to draw from.

Well that's too high tech for me! Keep forgetting these new fangled methods.
Strength ok for printed parts? I thought printing was more for making the prototype? But for something like this maybe the part would be strong enough?

Chris J (ProtoTipo) was advertising a set a little while back. Not sure if he's still got them?

If not, I'm pretty sure I have one available, if I can dig it out. I won't need them for my LB as I'll be using the type supplied by them. From memory it's in near mint condition and there might even be a second, in the same condition.

I don't live far from John so could always get it to him if you wanted him to make you a couple!

Cheers

Found them!

It may be me that's got this pair now but if John wants to borrow the best one to prototype a copy from I'm more than happy to lend it out.

I checked with the seller - they are the parts in the photo, so I bought them. Not the cheapest parts but applying the old adage that 'time is money' and going the design / make route would have consumed too much of the former and not saved much of the latter.
