Push pull panel knobs

I have been unable to find a source for accurate replacement push pull knobs for the panel. I drew the knob up in CAD and I'm going to have some machined from aluminum with a 10-32 hole to use with regular replacement cables. I get a pretty steep discount the more I make. Is anyone interested in any before I submit my order with the machine shop?

If I make:

(10), $39 ea.
(20), $22 ea.
(50), $11 ea.
(100), $6 ea.

Not looking to make any money on these, just figured I'd offer them up to others if interested.

*disclaimer. Mine will be owner produced parts. I am not a parts manufacturer, so any I sell to others will be sold as non-aviation replicas. Do with them what you wish.

I’ve printed similar in ABS and PETG with no issues. But they were for switches with an insert; not sure if that would hold up for a cable.

Hi Kaylee, would they have any colored finish or just bare metal?

They would need to be painted. I'm actually now leaning towards making them from bakelite (phenolic)
