Re: manual choke nob

I have LEDs in my cluster. It made a perfect spot for the potentiometer of the LED dimmer circuit. I drilled out the hole in the knob to match the shaft diameter. Works great!

Re: manual choke nob

Always thought a hidden kill switch like that would be cool.

Re: manual choke nob

Nice! I assume it works OK? Last time I installed a mic, I was going to flush mount it but the instructions said not to cover the side openings. Didn't take any chances so I free mounted it above the rear view mirror.

Re: manual choke nob

I made something that can be used for self defense and disguised it with the knob. These days you never know when something like that may be useful.
