K100 soft rubber tips for switch gear
« on: January 23, 2017, 12:09:43 PM »
Hi all,
Anyone know where to get the soft rubber switch gear tips i.e. turn signal controls.  Got some sun fading.  Don't know what to call them, so no luck with the Google.

Cheers,
Ray

RH turn and cancel are both pretty faded.  All the LH stuff looks nice.

Could you explain how you polished them and what you used?
