Trip Meter Reset Knob

(1/2) > >>

Phil k:
Hi all - I have just dismantled the clocks on my k5 and fitted some nice new faces   ;D

Close inspection revealed that the reset knob is missing, its the one that protrudes from the bottom of the clock not the side!

I have searched but cannot find an acceptable fix, does anyone have an idea for a replacement or better still have one in their parts drawer  ???

Thanks in advance

Phil

Hi Phil,

I have been searching for years for my K4, if you do have any luck with a similar part please let me know. I have tried the clock restorers, but the knob has a certain shape particular to the K3,4,5.
The complete clocks do come up on ebay in the states.

Phil k:
Thanks for that Alan

Having not seen one its difficult to comment on the shape, but probably goes a long way to explain why the trip has 950 miles on it!

Will keep an eye open at auto jumbles and if I can resolve the problem I'll let you know

I'm assuming that this trip knob is on the back of instrument and is secured to the shaft with a tiny cross head screw. Very difficult to remove the tiny screw and easily broken. Faced with a missing knob and the remains of the broken screw in the trip shaft I used a small radio knob. That had a screw in the side of the knob to secure it on the shaft so that resolved the broken screw in the shaft problem. Not sure were I found the knob now. O.K. it wasn't original but it worked, well it's better to have a non-original knob that no knob at all! I know Radio Spares stock a range of knobs so that might be one place to look.
