Hi Raf,
For the genuine article, as Dave said, prepare the wallet. If you're less fussy, it's only a fancy knob on a standard lighter. I've seen fancier knobs than that in the kitchen drawer department at Bunnings....Alternately turn one up on a lathe from a piece of fossilised dinosaur knob or similar.

Check out The Samba if you haven't already. I think I saw a similar one to that.

Maybe you could modify a bonnet release knob - there must be some around where the cable has broken❓

Cheers, Greg

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
