Sold Adjustable knob for remote control mirror, drivers side

[Steve McMahan]

Does anyone have one they don’t need. Everyone is out of stock. Thanks, Steve

 

[Steve McMahan]

I know this is not a readily noticeable part, but I would really appreciate anyone looking through their parts bin to see if they have one. Unfortunately, the two places I contact tell me they believe the part is disconnected. This was a part that fit many years and make Fords. Thank you for your efforts. Steve

 

[Steve McMahan]

Just another plea for someone to see if they have one of these in their loose parts or a broken mirror. Thanks in advance.

If you can't find one, you can go by a local machine shop with the thread size and have them machine one for you.

When I contacted CJ, they told me out of stock and out of production. So, maybe you’re right. I will probably just put the right threaded fastener in there for now. I’ll put in an order to NPD and see what they do. Thanks fir the advice.

Here’s what I asked of NPD:

Product Inquiry,

Do you know when I will be able to order 17B718-1A? It shows out of stock and it won’t let me order it anyway. Thanks, Steve

Currently working on:
1973 Mustang Grande

Regards, Steve McMahan

And here is their response:

Good afternoon Steve,

Unfortunately our 17B718-1A is in a temporary out of stock status. We have made multiple attempts to purchase it and the vendor cannot supply them. So we are at a stand still till they start producing them again.

We appreciate your patience…

Thanks,

Steve, can you send me a picture of this part you are needing?

 

[Hemikiller]

I'd use a different knob, maybe the replacement for the '68. You have to drill and tap for the knob anyway, and it's shorter so there's less chance of it getting knocked off.

Might do that if I can’t get it this month.

Sorry Steve, I looked through the box of miscellaneous parts the PO gave me but there wasn't an extra one of those in there.

 

[Steve McMahan]

Thanks tpj71mach for looking.

I ended up going with Hemikiller’s idea. Taping that small hole was no easy tasks, but I got it done. Thanks everyone for the help, Steve.
