All the original ivory-colored plastic dash, windshield wiper and window crank knobs on my 1951 Henry J have crumbled to pieces, and a couple have cracked off.  Does anybody know of a source for reproduction knobs, or some generic knobs, that might work?   Thank you very much.

Rudy Phillips has been reproducing the dash knobs for a long time. They look great, just like the originals. I replaced all of mine in both of my Js about 6 years ago. At that time they were $18 apiece and they've likely increased since then. Regarding window crank knobs, those are riveted on and I have not heard of a good way to replace them. As far as I know, those are not being reproduced but  they are the same as those used on 1953 Kaiser Carolina's and I've heard 1952-53 Kaiser Deluxe models but I can't be sure on that.  Rudy's contact info is Rudy Phillips 2136
