As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

I'm having difficulty locating the black plastic knobs on the bottom of each fork numbered 1 through 4.

I've looked on PartsNMore, Babbitts and PartsFish. Mine look like they'd disintegrate if I touched them, so I haven't.

Those have been discontinued as far as I know of. I made replacements out of square brass stock as mentioned by posplayr.

Nope. I just bought some brass stock at a local hardware/reno store and then used a file and drill press to shape/drill/tap them. It was an afternoon project IIRC but that was ~9 years ago. You need to drill a hole for the shaft and then cross drill and tap for a set screw. The shaft has a flat on it for the screw to seat against. I used square stock so that I could line up the flats to correspond with the 4 damper settings and just center punched dots on the faces for the 1, 2, 3, and 4 positions.

Ask Agemax, he recently bought a small lathe and is doing small projects.I would probably use round stock but then again, I got away from teh stock forks a while back.
