Default Repairing broken knobs.

The Black and Chrome Ekco had two broken knobs that is to say the inside was broken where the screw fits , I had this idea ,got my friend to make me a solid block of aluminium with a 1/4" hole drilled down the centre , in the lathe .
Having cleaned all the broken parts out ,I was left with just a cup , I had some shaft extenders which I used part of ,and fixed them into the cup making sure they were centralized by using a piece of silicone sleeve , applied some body filler and assembled it as shown ,clamped together until set ,painted the coloured dots with some very useful pens bought off Ebay , Mick.
