Default Cooker control knob - quick question about tightening up

David Wrote in message:
Five year old Lamona electric oven

One of the control knobs has split along the shaft so won't turn the
control.

I ordered a replacement and it turns out to be one digit higher part
number because the old one is obsolete.
It isn't a tight fit and so although it turns the control the mark on the
side of the knob goes just past where it should be (in whichever direction
it is travelling).

So ideally I would like to do something which will make the fit a little
more snug without damaging the new knob or preventing me removing it later.

Apart from cling film over the shaft, any other suggestions?

Cheers

Fashion a "press fit" shim from polymorph.

(See my thread on here regarding a 1/4 turn shower control valve
replacement)

Polymorph is on eBay /amazon et al....
