    Martin, with regards to the classic, is the overall OD size smaller?
    I'd be keen for the classic as well, but not if it's the same size, i appreciate it's asking a lot, but........

    Below is the quote from Doug, which reads to me like it will be the standard size whalen just mounted differently. Guess it would have to be that size for the design to work.

    "I can make them to look just like my usual knobs; but rather than the quick-disconnect type of mount, the inserted piece will be drilled and tapped to screw onto the lever. And in order to keep the engraving design positioned properly, I would add a set screw in-between the two o-rings and toward the front, so as to be out of sight when installed."

    I thought I'd better chime in here (hope that's okay ).

    I can't get stainless steel balls smaller than 2" diameter, so all stainless knobs must be that size.

    Gismo man, are you firm on that #49?
    Reason I ask is that I have another fellow who has asked me for that number (actually, he originally asked me #50; but I told him it's already spoken for, so he settled for #49).

    -Doug

    What a dilemma! An Irishman and a Scotsman both wanting the same number.

    What to do, what to do.... I don't want to start an international incident.

    Let me make a call...
