 |
|
Hi!
I've got an SCP Dash Air Conditioning installed and one of the control knobs is stripped and needs to be replaced:
https://smallcar.com/dash-air-conditioning-for-vanagons/
Anybody know where I can get a replacement? It doesn't look like SCP sells them on their web page.
Thanks!

| Email them. Otherwise it looks like a standard stove type knob that you could replace all of them with, so they match. |

| At one point I believe the small car unit was a Vintage Air system. They sell spare parts. Worth a look. I could also be wrong. |

I purchased some individual knobs and some spare climate control decals from the previous owners of SCP. I just emailed Mao. I might have one more spare knob. If you don't make out, PM me.

Did that. Nothing matches.

I believe that you are right. I checked the knobs for sale of their web page and nothing matches. But I'll shoot them an email to see if they have any spares.

Thanks! I sent an email to SCP and Vintage to see if they have spare knobs. If I don't hear back from either of them, I'll you up on your generous offer.

| I also needed a spare knob from SCP when installing their Gen V system last year. I simply called them and they sent an invoice for just the single part I needed. No problem at all. |

Yup, did that and ordered 2 knobs from them.
For those who have put these knobs on, what size bit/allen wrench do I need to screw in the set screw?

Mao's been gone for years from SCP or did I miss something?

I'm getting my knobs from the current owner, so parts are still available.
