Thanks Shawn. I think a machine shop could make a pair of knobs out of stainless steel for the ptice of one new one from A&H. Besides the new ones don’t look to be the same and I believe they are designed to work with a spring seal which mine doesn’t have. Right now it works held together with a jubilee clamp and plastic cover taped over the knob. I may try my hand at making something that should work and get me thru the season out of a piece of jatoba wood. Looks to me that what i need is pretty simple but a critical part of the hatch nonetheless.
