Methods for extending a knob to outside of Control Panel???
<< < (2/4) > >>
Jabba:
Barring none of the above works, maybe you could solder two/three more wires to where the knob is currently soldered and add a second knob to the cab (i.e., extending by using wires).

Bones:

If you know somebody with a metal lathe turning something like this up would be dead simple. At the worst I can imagine even a general machine shop would only charge a few bucks to have it done.
danny_galaga:
that all looks so 'bought'! i used a bit of k & s aluminium tubing to extend mine. on the other end i glued a bit of whittled down dowel to fit the knob on...

If someone has a direct link to one of those shaft extenders pictured, PLEASE POST IT.  I have been looking for one for months.

BTW, do a Google Search for SHAFT EXTENDER and see what happens.  There are 41,000 hits that all think I want a larger unit (if you know what I mean).

Search for 'shaft collars' or "Shaft Coupling".   You'll easily find what you need.
