    Does anyone know if you can get a red handled spindle control knob that will fit into the case of an Optimus 99? If there is such a thing I'd be interested in acquiring one.

    a normal 111 spindle will fit i use one myself
    either the fat handle or the cookie cutter will do the trick

    Sounds to me like he doesn't want to burn his fingers and would prefer a heat resistent model.

    Base camp sell them for £10, part 2216 and postage costs won't break the bank either.

    Good thinking!

    The all metal keys are nice but I rather have the older control knob. I didn't know basecamp had them. Should have known! :doh:
