Clock set knob

[Backfoot100]

I have a clock in my square that actually works and keeps very accurate time. That in itself makes it kind of a unicorn doesn't it? My dilemma is that its missing the screw-on set knob.
I'm guessing that I would have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding one of these knobs. No luck from any of the parts places either that I've found.

I have a set of metric and SAE taps and dies and my smallest ones aren't even close to this so I have no idea what size nut I would need to try and find at a hardware store to make something up that works.
It really isn't a huge issue until the time changes in spring and fall. Then I practically rip the skin off my fingers trying to set it.

Any help from the square community would be appreciated.

Good luck with this, mine runs but I’m having trouble setting the time, don’t want to break it maybe we can both get some answers

My clock used to keep time but recently stopped. I have a whole nother clock but i dont want to part with it. Try this website, see if they can get you a knob. They rebuild them too.

My clock works, and the set knob works great, too. It's actually pretty amazing.

That is all.

Good day.

Seriously, though, they look kind of easy to find. Not sure.
I went down and looked at mine, then googled Chevy k10 clock knob and found a bunch that look just like mine.

I reckon you could unhook the battery till the clock's right.

Holy ****. BRILLIANT!!!!

I tried searching on a few of the usual websites like LMC or Brothers and got nothing. Never even considered a Goggle search. Now I feel like such a dumb ass.

Thanks for confirming they're the same as yours. Got options anyway.

I just bought one from Classic Truck Parts for $10. Includes 2 knobs and 2 set screws (metric and SAE).

No problem, man. I almost posted a pic of my stock one to compare with, but the ones posted above look exactly the same as mine.
Most seem to be around $10 or $12.

FYI, I ended up using my original knob. I had only lost the set screw. The one in the kit has a little shorter body.
