Here are a couple photos of the "billet" knobs I made to replace the stockers.
Granted, I bought a set of cheap J--P ones and modified them. I bought them originally because hey were advertised as Billet, but when I got them they were cheap cast/knurled aluminum from China. I paid $19 for a set of 6... but I've seen em on Ebay for as much as $56 for the set (which I warn... they are not even close to being worth that much)
Process: Lock the set screw of the knobs on a rod and put it in a drill chuck. Clamp the drill handle in a vise and auto-lock the trigger of the drill. I then went after the overseas cheapies with files, various grits of wet/dry sandpaper and then polished them to a billet shine.
I cut a channel in the outer ring with a hack saw and stretched an O-ring over the top of it.
The cheap camera doesn't do them justice... and although the photograph on Ebay looks good... they were just crap... this is one way to refurbish the crappy knobs into something that looks nice, has somewhat of the original flair and are custom.
Enjoy
