Heater *****

Dean;

I am in the same boat; I don't think there is an aftermarket source for the pearl (white) *****.

The ones I have seen, seem to damaged by years of ultra-violet light, and are cracked, and broken.

You might try looking for those on an earlier vehicle/car. The equipment found on the trucks is usually typical of that found on the cars 2 to 3 years prior.

So, if you go to the C&G catalogue (for example) and look up ***** for - say- a 47 to 48 Ford Passenger Car, here is what you will find:



Here is the link ot C&G. I'll let you browse through it for what you want:

Ford Parts at C&G for 1932 thru 1979 Ford car and Ford truck.

PS One other thing you might consider if you really get stuck, is contacting a shop that restores Steering Wheels. They may be able to cast you a lot of your ***** (if you have an original) - in whatever color you want, and you could both go in on the price or sell the extras to other members.

Just food for thought!
