[sdiy] WTB. Knobs for 6mm 1/4" - any low cost supply? Surplus / end of line?

[Seb Francis]

Hi Steve,

Unfortunately knobs for round shafts (i.e. grub screw fixing) tend to be 
relatively expensive compared to spline or D fitted ones.

Anyway, Rapid do a few different knobs suitable for 6mm round shaft ...

Quite cheap, but only in black:

Available with different colour caps:

Expensive, but nice 'soft touch' rubber and with different colour caps:
