Dead of winter in Michigan, an old man's fancy turns towards tinkering with old Datsuns.

I'm working on a '72 and need heater control knobs.  I'm find the early ones stupid pricey.  Will the later ones not fit or are they just wrong?  I don't care about "wrong" just that they fit.  I even went so far as to model them for 3-D printing, turned out "okay" but by the time I get them functional I could have bought them.

Before I spend hours trying to get my printed ones working, will newer style fit? Or any other style?.

Also we need a heater control cable clamp.  One of these:

The later knobs from 260Z/280Z do fit, they are simply push on and don't have a retaining screw like the early ones.  I have a heater control panel from a 12/70 parts car and it has them on the control levers, they seem adequate. The part number is 27148-Y0100 and they were used from 08/73 forward.

Here are some currently on ebay:

Same seller also has a set of early ones, but they are missing the screws, like you said they are pricey.

The new ones from nissan are more rounded vs square original style. original style reproductions

@nix240z Your early ones look good, and the price is good as well compared to ebay sellers.

Yes, thanks, those are the ones that prompted my asking, pulling trigger now
