I have the fresh air control mechanism in our 74 SB, but no knobs. I bought a pair of knobs online, but they don't fit the square ends of the control mechanism that sticks through the dash. These are the knobs I purchased, but they seem too "shallow" to fit and they don't fit on the square portion:

And this is a not so good pic of the area I am talking about:

Hunt for them in the Samba classifieds, there are complete mechanisms and parts for sale in there.

What I'm looking for is just the knobs. I'm being told there are three different length knobs for this. The ones I linked to don't fit the square extensions on the fresh air mechanism and also are too short.
