Vent Knob Options

Hi Everyone,
Sorry if this is posted somewhere else. I'm looking for any upgrade options for Vent Knobs in my 1987 D110. The existing ones are somewhat busted up. Just trying to clean up the look a bit. Thanks in advance for any help!

OP…what do you mean by upgrade options? Are you looking for a different style pull, or something other than plastic?

Round handle, and you pull it towards you to move it (vs. pushing the lever to side).

If you have the old school vent levers that you push to the side to adjust, do you need to swap out more hardware to use these aluminum knobs?

I’ve had both, but I can’t recall the TD5 setup. I think the lever apparatus for the TD5 is different (the metal is notched on both sides of the pull?).

I’m sure someone here has a picture.

I guess something in a different style pull. Trying to clean up the dash area a bit and it’s one of the few remaining things that’s a mess. It looks like a broken knob “post” is all that’s there

Is the post just threaded on the end where the knob/pull attaches?

If so, I’d think you could find a threaded billet round knob on the web? Maybe I’m being too optimistic though…

Anybody know if Series Defender makes these knobs?

The stock one is AIT710030 and will look a lot better than a bare metal post. There are fancy aluminum ones too if that's the style you want.

This is what I’m currently dealing with.

That’s the question I’m hoping to get answered. Can I just unscrew the VENT lever end and use one of the round ones. I don’t want to risk snapping anything without knowing
