If you are referring to this:
That's the 'Nader Knob', not the recliner adjustment. Two different knobs.Ron LaDow

Re: Seat parts
Ron you can find a round plastic knob of appropriate size on the net and buy 10 for the cost of one sold as a 356 part

Re: Seat parts
I believe that totally "round" style knob is specific to the seats in the 1965 C.

Re: Seat parts
The round knob is specific to late 356C seats. Parts catalog illus below. In early 911 it was changed to a tulip-shaped knob.

Re: Seat parts
Sorry, I misread what you were looking for. McMaster Carr carries the knobs. They are a bit too shiny and have a molding line on them but I chuck them up in a drill press and use wet/dry sand paper to get the proper look.

Re: Seat parts
Mike, sure be nice to know what part number to order on McMaster-Carr.
Also, where do you get the tolerance ring to hold the knob in place? or maybe just glue it on?

Re: Seat parts
The knobs I've obtained have a metal threaded insert. Part #62195K34 with M4 brass threaded inser in black phenolic plastic.
Check it put to see if that will work. Ed Rutherford of Klasse 356 had some in stock.

Re: Seat parts
What knob for a late B, or shouldn’t my B have that feature?

Re: Seat parts
My Nay 30, 1963 B has the release knob on the passenger seat. I'm not sure when the round knobs were used verses the tulip knobs. I seem to recall a thread on the topic.
