- larryk, I do not have any knobs or the hood ornament tip. Knobs are available from Rudy Phillips, one of our club vendors. He may have the ornament tip as well. He can be reached at 760.789.36o8, usually around noon pacific time, US. I'm still looking thru the two large boxes of latches I have for a HJ unit. I'm pretty sure I have one.
- Nils, by luck I found a vacuum switch and cable for the 51 Kaiser. It's $35 plus shipping. A picture is attached. I don't think I have a good knob but will look for one.
- flamingchariots, I do have a driver side vent window assembly for the 51K. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it isn't pretty but the glass is not cracked and the vent window opens and closes in the frame as it should. Shipping would be ridiculous so if you can pick it up, or arrange for someone to do it for you, I'll make you one heck of a deal.
- OLDNMKFR, I have good used TEMP and DEFROST cables that work - they'll need a cleanup - and will look for the VENT cables. I should have the heater switch as well, I will advise once I get to where the box is stored. A photo of the two cables I have is attached.
