    Default Chasing machine knobs for resto project.

    Has anyone purchased round machine knobs lately in Oz?
    Im restoring a large lathe and need a 50mm black knob for the speed change lever.
    Also a 45 mm red one for the brake lever.
    Ive looked online but no luck so far except from China.
    One Sydney Co. VB precision tooling who have stuff online referred me to Blackwoods when I rang them?!
    Cant find round ones in the Blackwoods catalog.
    Thanks

    These guys sell them, and they are surprisingly cheap. They get a delivery from Germany every week.
