Looking for door lock knobs
Does anyone know of a vendor who still carries the shorter door lock knobs, or can someone point me to another aftermarket knob set that will work without cutting?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ahh the ol' knitting needle... I like
They look awesome Batman
Crochet hooks have a blunter end but only come in a few colors at 8mm
If you want flush locks you have to cut the original rod
these are the ones I'm using now... 8mm aluminum rod. cut one an angle, drilled and siliconed. rod was $8 for 12"

I got mine from http://thehhrstore.com/. About $10 for a pair. You'll have to cut the rods to get the knobs flush, but I didn't want mine that short and installed them as is. Easy install. Took only about 10 mins.
If I pull the knobs that are on there now can I just cut them the length I am after? Are they bored through enough to allow for this?

Threads are very coarse, when you cut the studs, be careful about the threads, cause buggered up & winding the oe plastic knobs on will chew out all the plastic threads.
Course then you could use some some glue or JB Weld, but better if you are careful about the threads..
