First of all thanks to Dan and co. who educated us youngin's about these
obviously priceless antiques :) I guess its only fitting since my
spitfire is older than I am. I wonder how many on the list can say
that?
Anyway about those knobs, yes I believe they are illegal in VA too BUT
we sell them at my dad's store nonetheless for "agricultural" use. Its
a standard NAPA Balkamp part that can be bought anywhere.
