Teardrop knobs

[misterNNL]

I am working on '59 IH Metro step van interior and needed to add add knobs to the end of turn signal and shift lever arms. The rods are made from paper clip wire so the knobs needed to be rather tiny. My solution was to hold the lever arms with the knob end down and ease a drop of super glue onto the end. That automatically assumes a tear drop shape. I then add a small amount of kicker just above the glue and it flows down over the glue hardening into the knob I wanted. Quick and simple solution.

That’s how I made this turn signal knob. I then put it in a pin vise in my drill and shaped it a bit.

Nice job Greg. Yours looks a lot more realistic than mine does. Mine is in one of those closed interiors where they will barely be seen if at all. Have a meaningful Christmas season.
