Restoing Dash control nobs

[SLR_dave]

I have just realised how clever Holden were with the design of those knobs. The symbol is an extruded part of the white insert in the back of the black knob, it's not painted, it's solid white plastic so I scrapped the touch up paint idea and tried preposol but no difference. Then thanks to your help, some Jiff + elbo grease + plastic polish = good as new...way to go.

Interesting Dawso, what model Holden are you working on?

Mine is a HZ. I just put my order for a retrosound push button car radio to match the original. Hopefully my just restored knobs will go on it. Has anyone out there got one to comment on? I know it will fit in the standard holes and it does all of the modern stuff, now just concerned about fitting the original knobs.

Yeah its a good question, interesting. Perhaps you will be the one to answer it! Any pics?
