jlarremore Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I found some cool valve stems caps, like this, except mine were $5! They would make cool vol/tone knobs and a 3 way high hat switch. Any ideas of how to convert the screw on stem cover to a knob? Maybe this needs to be in electronics? Wasn't sure if this was finishing or electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its too big fill it with epoxy or something a then drill out the hole. Off the top of my head the hole size needs to be 3/8". I know a Presta valve is smaller but is the Schrader valve? Interesting find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Harrist Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Why not just get skulls that were designed to be volume knobs? Like these Also only $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlarremore Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Yes, JC that appears to be a better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
