knobs

[tonyhall38]

am working on a replacement for all knobs including the stereo ones......but am trying to keep costs down on a re sale basis.....as you all know the more machining required the more expensive it all comes.....i asked about a new set of knobs from Aston....£297.68 +VAT....AND ON BACK ORDER...THEN TOLD NOT GOING TO BE MANUFACTURED!!!!..
so my idea was to try and enhance the interior with solid machined stainless to give it that look and feel of quality....if i can't manufacture the smaller knobs to the same degree as the larger ones i will not bother.......but have looked at costs with regards the 3 large ones and prices are looking at the £110.00 mark for the 3 off......now if you all feel that is expensive i will not bother making more and just work on my own car....your comments would be appreciated..

Solid stainless, milled down to a finish, with your 'white dot' indicator supplied excluding postage and fitting? £110 sounds perfectly reasonable to me Tony.

[Murph7355]

Did they really fit those plastic horrors in DB9s?

Your versions are far better.

[V8VKK]

That does not sound expensive at all Tony

-10 points at the next concours tony

[tonyhall38]

only 10......when competing against vanq's with so called 500 miles....what does it matter.....still the parking is always better...worth the entry fee alone for that..!!

Have finally managed to send off to DMS a set of knobs with interior heater matrix attached so that customers can see for themselves the quality etc...I have agred with Rick the costs of £110.00 per set , Rick has kndly stated (after some coaching from me) that if required he will offer a fitting service for the knobs.....i have also agreed with him that there will be a limit to units produced to keep them exclusive.....so when my bar runs out....so does the supply of knobs.....also if required the infill colour as seen with mine are white......can be changed to suit each cars interior....so if you have piano black the the dots can be filled black.....and so on....but please do not ask for special colours like pink with blue dots....not going to happen..!!!!!
Rick going to put up a full video fitting vid so that the DIY's amongst you and of course our cousins across the pond and europe can see how easy it all is.....

remember first come first served..!!!!

will be dispatching from Jan 1st.......

Hello Tony,

I don't suppose there's any chance of convincing you to do another set of these? They're stunning!

[Jockman]

Sweet Jesus Vinnie.....holy thread resurrection!!!!!

Those were the days when Tony could see his own knob. No chance now

[vinnie83]

Yeah I saw someone mention his name about an Aston wall plaque so I googled him and realised just how much I need some of these!

Worth a try!

[BravoV8V]

All you had to do was to post a photo of the interior of your car. He would've come to you soon enough.

Or just send him a PM. I'm not sure you needed to dig up his 5 year old thread...

[Bincenzo]

Oh don't worry, he's still very much alive and kicking.......

[Jockman]

Yeah I saw that wall plaque. Nice quality though I would not have placed it on a multi-faced-brick wall without a plinth

Throw the odd punch now and then as well.....
And yes I still make them...but only to order......

Hi Tony, I sent you a PM, I'm certainly interested in a full set so get back to me when you've got a moment, thanks

And as for digging up a 5 year old thread, I hadn't noticed until after posting!
