    Stradale Choke Lever Knob

    The Stradale had two levers, one either side of the handbrake, covering a spiked metal lever was a plastic knob. Brittle and rare, they were fitted to the Fiat X1/9 1300 European spec cars. They're a choke lever and hand throttle.

    Does anyone have one of these plastic knobs they are willing to sell or loan to see if we can get them copied?

    The picture below shows the lever without the missing knob....

    Cheers
    Guy

    And here's a picture of the handbrake lever with both knobs attached. First one I've found of an X1/9 with a chrome lever and BOTH levers.

    Help! Please!

    Guy,
    Does this look like the item you are after ?
    I had a rummage around in my box of "handbrake bits" and found this - I only have one, I just removed the plastic part from the metal lever to make it easier to photograph
    Cheers,
    Graham

    Guy, are you also reproducing the choke and throttle levers ?

    Not me - Gerry might be doing this. I'll be seeing him next weekend and will try to remember to ask - or you could drop him an email?

    These might be an alternative but not quite the right shape.

    No connection to the seller.
