    Your blower motor? There is a sticky in the 2nd gen section on how to fix it. I just gave Napa my $75 and got a new blower so I don't have to mess with it.

    You can try Lowes for knobs, thats where I got mine, although I don't know if they have them for 1/4". I used 3/8" for mine. Also, you might find that you need to use longer bolts for the attachment in the second photo as the knobs may be to large to physically fit down into that space.

    Luckily I'm close by, I don't think shipping has every been more than $8 and it's almost always next day via UPS

    Now, if you only need $1 worth of nuts then it's not worth it lol

    i like their quality. And that all their items are specc’ed out for the buyer. Rather than go to HD/Lowe’s and get bent on a $3 pack of 3x small metric bolts, like what kinda asshole company sells in odd numbers...looking at you Hillman lol.

    you buy in bulk but will have metric hardware for anything in the future.

    Exactly, I have a nicely organized selection of SS hardware now from them. I only buy that stupid ass 3 or 5 pack from Lowe's if I absolutely have to haha

    Finished installing a TPAM this morning. I think they are ugly AF but I need something to mount shit on. In addition to my phone mount, it will eventually hold my GPS, my tablet, and a roll chart holder.

    As an option, you can try dying the faded part. I used Detail King's black Trim Kote (https://store.detailking.com/car-trim-restorer-black). I haven't had any fading after I put this on.

    I installed DK UCAs last night and got it aligned this morning. Went from 0.5 to 3 degree caster. Night and day difference.

    Here’s a screenshot of shipping methods from Fastenal. LMFAO! You can see the subtotal for my 1 item was $7.56:
