I tried 4 paint shops and 2 Holden Dealers with paint depts and none of them could help me with the grey vynacoat for the back of my van. I had to settle for "near enough" in acrylic.

GTS clock reset knob and grub screw HJ,HX,HZ

They have done the knob. Well doing it. I sent them samples. I have samples here and will be testing them tonight. They can not do the screw they rekon. I might look at doing it myself.

Yes agree'd.... I thought you mean't console and dash paint.... I was unable to get the grey vynacoat also.

What good is the knob without the bloody grub screw?????? The knob is usually missing.... hence no grub screw.... I suppose you could superglue the knob on but then you could never service the clock or replace a scratched lense...

Exactly what I said. Hence why I will just make the screw and sell it to them. Apparently they can not make it..........I just tested the knob and Im rejecting it. But I guess they will fix the issues.

Warning lenses for GTS dash I plan to make these very soon if rares dont. Its a joke not having them.

Holden didn't seem to have a problem getting them made?????

I actually hand made a few for my clocks so I will buy some knobs once they get them right... a bit of brass rod, drill and tap it, then file a slot in the end for the screwdriver.... really not that hard once I thought about it.

Sean Rodney and I (mostly I who lost it) searched for ours for ages, we found it in the garden where I had thrown a bucket of water with one of them in it, whilst Rodney was washing the dash Sean had fixed the cut out in....
