Rkdace Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Where can I get a replacement handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Mine isn't a handle, it's just a knob held on by a set screw. Shouldn't be hard to find a knob that will fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobertGary1 Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Its probably rolling around on the floor. YOu have to be precise to get the set screw to go into the slot. Otherwise its just pinched and will eventually fall off. -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 This is what is on my 75’s overhead vent control shaft. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron_Dace Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Thanks for the replies. I picked up a couple of knobs at Lowes today but it will be tomorrow before I can see if they fit. They both have set screws. BTW, I recently bought the plane and just picked it up yesterday and flew it home last evening/night. I didn't see the knob on the floor when I was looking over the plane. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Lloyd Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 A few days after buying my '75 C, we were flying to Kentucky for a wedding. I was moving my headset when it felt strange. I looked at my hand and it held a knob. What the heck? The vent knob had fallen off directly into my hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skydvrboy Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Same knob in the 67 F. Speaking of this knob, does anyone else have trouble closing the vent in cruise? It seems the ram air pressure in the scoop is enough that I have to slow to around 120 mph or less in order to close it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 The knob uses a dog nose set screw. The dog nose goes into a hole bored into the shaft. If you don’t use the correct set screw the knob will slip and fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
