jvandyke Posted January 26, 2019 Share #1 Posted January 26, 2019 Dead of winter in Michigan, an old man's fancy turns towards tinkering with old Datsuns. I'm working on a '72 and need heater control knobs. I'm find the early ones stupid pricey. Will the later ones not fit or are they just wrong? I don't care about "wrong" just that they fit. I even went so far as to model them for 3-D printing, turned out "okay" but by the time I get them functional I could have bought them. Before I spend hours trying to get my printed ones working, will newer style fit? Or any other style?. Also we need a heater control cable clamp.

CanTechZ Posted January 27, 2019 Share #2 Posted January 27, 2019 The later knobs from 260Z/280Z do fit, they are simply push on and don't have a retaining screw like the early ones. I have a heater control panel from a 12/70 parts car and it has them on the control levers, they seem adequate. The part number is 27148-Y0100 and they were used from 08/73 forward.

CanTechZ Posted January 27, 2019 Share #5 Posted January 27, 2019 @nix240z Your early ones look good, and the price is good as well compared to ebay sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
