PaulR Posted November 12, 2007 Report Posted November 12, 2007 I just received a new knob for the back of my KK: It's beautiful, nicely crafted by U2PLT (http://www.cozycrafted.com/). Just waiting for the one for the front dial....
Saucier Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Knob Nice kit indeed Paul.... I have some mills on the way from the U2 man!
PaulR Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Posted November 15, 2007 U2 man is good... Received the other knob, but realised I have to do some work (as the dial knob is "welded" to the dial)... Hmm need to change knobs but don't have welding materials....
Conodo12 Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 Hi Paul, Did you get that front knob swapped out? Just curious because I had to tighten a vent knob once and it was not welded. There are two nuts holding it on the vent assembly. If you take those off, the knob and vent will come off the main door. Use a pair of vise grips to hold the threads coming out from the knob (being careful not to damage your threads! Use a cloth wrapped around the threads then apply the vise grips.) Now just unloosen the knob from the thread. You'll see that there are very fine machine threads on one half of the post and coarse wood threads on the other side. Once you have the post separated from the original knob, screw on the one from U2! Post a pic so we can check it out!
johnnyboy Posted December 5, 2008 Report Posted December 5, 2008 For anyone in doubt; I can vouch for U2 craftsmanship as well!!! I too have a set of his grinders. Again, craftsmanship is impecable!!! You won't go wrong buying from U2.
PaulR Posted December 6, 2008 Author Report Posted December 6, 2008 Aargh, nope just replaced the one at the back... Haven't replaced the front one yet (little job I can do over christmas??)
