Default Light Knob

My original knobs have flaking chrome and in buying some 66/67 pieces the knobs are quite good for reproductions in those years.

The 69 piece arrived from The Parts Place. Im unclear on OE manufacture as the box is white labled. Decent piece. I had to sand and polish the black area as it had waves in it from the molding process. What really suprised me was it was about a 1/2" longer than the original and stuck out away from the switch. Its a cheap piece and not worth shipping back so i put it in the mill, recut the notch that catches in the switch, trimmed and shapped the nose to a point, and milled down the shank like the original.

Top Picture Before, Bottom After

Im wondering if others have had better luck with other brands?
