Odometer Reset Rod

[BoyRacer]

The knob on my odometer reset rod is right at the lower edge of my dash. I can barely get two fingers on the end of the knob and not enough grip to turn it. I hesitate to bend the rod to get it away from the dash. I think a better route would be a longer knob. Mine is attached with a small cotter pin.

Anyone out there had this issue and found a good solution? This is on a BT7.

Mine hangs down farther than that and is no problem to grip. I wonder if one of the instrument shops could sell you a longer knob.

Edit: searching eBay for 'smiths odometer reset knob' brings up several longer ones for Triumph, Norton etc. Not sure if they'd fit Healey.

Put some tubing over it to extend ??

You can get a new rod at www.westvalleyinstruments.com. They come a couple of inches long and can be trimmed to the length you prefer. No affiliation.

West Valley did mine 10+ years ago. Works well.
