How to remove heater and air knobs on a C1

[Terry C.]

I'm sure that this question has been answered before but I cant seem to find it. I am new to this forum and am doing a body off on my 1960. As part of the restoration, I need to replace the knobs on the dash. One of the knobs had a set screw so it was no problem. The heater and air knob s dont have a set screw and dont seem to be threaded. Can someone tell me how to get the knobs off?

Terry,

You will need to cut the old knobs off with something like a cut off wheel and a Dremel. The new knobs thread on, so you will need to thread the shaft.

I'd wait till you get the new ones before I did any cutting. If you can find replacements they will come with the cables most of the time.
