It was $58 plus the tax and $0 shipping. There was a pre-1981 NOS GM knob for $149. The knurling is burly on this one and will last way much longer than the OEM in this style, which is all wore off. Still gonna keep the one that came with the Sub, in case I change my mind at some point in the future.

I can, the value of my time 3-D drawing it aside.

One advantage of printing my own is, I can modify to my want and need.

Can you print it yourself cheaper than the blank one on Etsy? it's like $8 or 9 plus $6 or $7 shipping.

I just put in a TPMS monitor it's solar powered and it just lays on the dash. It was super cheap ($11) and has the external sensors. I got it to try and see if it works Ok and so far I like it. I'm going to get internal sensors, or just another TPMS system with internal sensors.

Installed these window rubbers. I remember finding them at a swap 10 years back, finally got to it. They had a couple issues.....1 clip at the end didn't line up, had to drill a slot in the door lip.....sucked. The clips for the inside seal were 1/4" to shallow, so had to notch the door panel down that much to make it sit proper.....sucked. While prying the old seal off, the pick I was using slipped and went deep into the tip of my middle finger....really sucked!! Decided to play it safe and hit the urgent care for a tetanus shot, which took 2 hours.....still sucking. All's done, took 5 hrs instead of 1, but ddfd. Done, done, f'n done!

I had a similar experience with only minor bleeding. Installed a new regulator in my '86. I had never done one before. After 2 hours it was in and I'm not really sure how. Whats the secret to get it to ride in the tracks correctly?

Not really sure why, but the driver's side window hits major resistance when it's almost closed and the passenger side hits resistance when it's almost all the way open. I had enough and just buttoned it up. That regulator access looked real tight, so I thought i'd save that issue for another day. I'm hoping it's just a matter of clean up, lube and adjustment.
