Title: 5/8" knurled knobs for stereo bar?
Post by: voltronic on September 07, 2014, 08:40:59 AM: I'm planning on picking up this cheap stereo bar, and it comes with 5/8" knobs. Does anyone know where I can get a spare set of undercut 5/8" knobs? I can't find them for sale anywhere.

I know followinbob makes 3/8" knobs like this, but using a 3/8-5/8 adapter won't work here because the 5/8" thread would need to be undercut to slide through the cutouts of the bar.

Yeah you're right, I guess I'm not going to find a set of knobs like that for less than 10 bucks! (Unless someone here can make them?)

Yeah that's where I started looking but didn't find anything. I think I'm going to go with Gene's suggestion and just buy two bars.

A little bit too short for my purposes - I need to be able to do NOS with my very short CM3s (they're only 77mm). Thanks for the offer though!

See HERE (http://www.canford.co.uk/K&M-SPARE-PARTS) at Canford Audio.

You will probably have to give them a ring or send an e-mail as not all the parts have a picture.

But they *are* available as I've bought them in the past.
