Broken cooker knob
 

I have an old Canon Winchester andc 3 of the knobs are beyond repair
(I've bodged it a few times over the years when they broke off) its a
bit of and old cooker but does anyone have any idea where I might be
able to buy some ?

The best I can describe the shape of the fitting is like the shape of
the letter D.

I'll go and google a bit but in the mean time any advice from here would
be good.

Cheers fellas.

all the same diameter

Good idea Tony :) buuuut my wife would chuck a fit if she knew where it
came from and as shes the opnly one who uses it she'd not be best
pleased with me. Although I could tell her a white lie and clean it up lol.

Eeek I'm well under the thumb!

If you go googling for parts then remember there are 2 letter N's in CANNON.

Your wife needn't know.

If she finds out tell her it's environmentally important to recycle

size of the original knobs one, take the clip out of the knackered one and
insert into wooden dowl one.

steel on the flat of the D.
