I'd pay extra for you to machine in a groove for an o-ring for some extra traction! I really like the "hose washer mod" but it does look a little tacky.

I can do it. Add about $5.00 and I'll put an o-ring on it if you want.

Payment sent from me too

Looks like you have a new job haha

This is getting crazy. I think I'm going to make a bunch out of aluminum as well and anodize them in different colors Like Black, Gold, Blue, Red etc.

More to come...

Sending payment. My knob has a minor chip in it from the factory so this is perfect!!

Let me know if your going to do that before you ship mine? I'd love a black volume knob!!!!

Hey, i want to order one for sure.

I just want to check how much exactly you want extra to have a groove machined into it, so i can throw an o-ring around the knob also for some grip. ALso, how long of a wait is it, if i pay today?

Let me know, and ill pay-pal over some loot.

I have sooo many people ordering these, I can't believe it. I am making them right now as we speak and should have a bunch finished on Tuesday and Wednesday. So it will only be a few days or so maybe a week. I am mailing them out by US mail.

Thanks for all the interest!!!! I wish I was getting rich doing this but I'm not. Just trying to help out. I love this forum it has really helped me out with my F90BT. It is $17.00 total if you want an o-ring groove and the o-ring. You really don't need it but if that is what you want I can do it.

i just sent you payment.

thanks for helping us out as my radio is inset some in my dash and the knob really sucks

Just sent my $12

Thanks Mike

Tom,

can you post a pic of the groove and the o-ring installed? i may opt to go that route if i like the way it looks, thanks.

Yea I already paid for one, but would like to see what it would look like with the grove and o-ring....

Could you post a pic? I might want to pay the difference if you haven't made mine yet.

Is this borderline sticky status ??? lol

I just sent you some $$ for 2 of these..my brother in law and I will be psyched to get these.

Guys, this is getting NUTS!!! I thought I would be making 5, maybe 10 of these. Boy was I wrong!!!! I have orders for over 40 of these and I am working as fast as I can on them. I'm trying to start shipping them tommorow for those of you who are waiting. I will post a pick of one with the o-rings when I get a minute. To be honest though, the bigger knob gives you WAY better grip and feel and you really don't need a o-ring. Although the groove might look kind of cool.

Just be warned though, once you snap this knob on to your old one, it is pretty hard to get it off. I wanted to take mine off today just to see how hard it is to remove from the original knob and it's pretty tight. I had to drill holes in the new stainless knob so I could put a punch in the hole and push my old knob out. So it's kind of hard to change after you put the new one on.

To install it you just pull off your old knob and press it into the new one with your fingers. Then simply reinstall the knob on you AVIC.

Working my #@$ off lol

Tom

We really appreciate it !!!! Waiting patiently : )

How does it feel to be one of santa's sweat shop elves trying to get this done and shipped in time to be a stocking stuffer

Great for you and YOUR ingenuity!!! Count my order in among the many...

Just think, your knob just payed for your head unit (anyone feel free to pervert that any way you want)

Wow! Sorry I mentioned the o-ring

Is there any thing that could minimize the removal issue? Perhaps use a numbered or lettered drill bit? I speculate you need the tight fit because you can't machine in the little flat part?

Actually after playing with it for a while I noticed that the shaft on the radio is a weird size that doesn't equate to anything fractional or metric. It's .098. So to make the whole knob it would have to have a small set screw which would not look very good. The ones I'm making look very factory.

Unless you have a drill press to drill the face of the SS knob you can't really get it off very easily.

Or Tom.

Hey Tom

Two questions

1) are you still thinking of using aluminum? In particular the black one? I would be interested in that over the stainless, although for 12 bucks I can just buuy both and choose later.

2) For the people worried about grip, could you knurl the outer diameter to give more grip instead of the groove and o-ring?

I look forward to getting the one I ordered.

thanks

paul

I like the no-rubber effect of this mod... Why make it like a Kenwood knob?

Can't wait for mine to get here!

All the knobs are ready. I stayed up late last night and finished them. I am going to send out all the orders later today so everyone will be receiving them shortly.

Also please note that due to the time it takes to make these I will be charging $22.00 ea for any future orders for the knobs. Sorry about that but they took more time then I thought to make but they do look awesome!!!!

Ahh, the benefits of being an early adopter. lol

Thanks again.
