    GTS clock reset knob and grub screw HJ,HX,HZ

    They have done the knob. Well doing it. I sent them samples. I have samples here and will be testing them tonight. They can not do the screw they rekon. I might look at doing it myself.

    Yes agree'd.... I thought you mean't console and dash paint.... I was unable to get the grey vynacoat also.

    What good is the knob without the bloody grub screw?????? The knob is usually missing.... hence no grub screw.... I suppose you could superglue the knob on but then you could never service the clock or replace a scratched lense...

    Exactly what I said. Hence why I will just make the screw and sell it to them. Apparently they can not make it..........I just tested the knob and Im rejecting it. But I guess they will fix the issues.

    Warning lenses for GTS dash I plan to make these very soon if rares dont. Its a joke not having them.

    Holden didn't seem to have a problem getting them made?????

    I actually hand made a few for my clocks so I will buy some knobs once they get them right... a bit of brass rod, drill and tap it, then file a slot in the end for the screwdriver.... really not that hard once I thought about it.
