I have an old Canon Winchester andc 3 of the knobs are beyond repair (I've bodged it a few times over the years when they broke off) its a bit of and old cooker but does anyone have any idea where I might be able to buy some ?
The best I can describe the shape of the fitting is like the shape of the letter D.
I'll go and google a bit but in the mean time any advice from here would be good.
Cheers fellas.
Have a poke around the dumped cookers at the local council tip take a broken knob with you as the spindles though generally D shape ate not all the same diameter

Good idea Tony :) buuuut my wife would chuck a fit if she knew where it came from and as shes the opnly one who uses it she'd not be best pleased with me. Although I could tell her a white lie and clean it up lol.
Eeek I'm well under the thumb!
If you go googling for parts then remember there are 2 letter N's in CANNON.
Been at google a bit now and most of them want £10 for one knob + the postage!! bloomin hell I think I'll build a batch! lol.
Your wife needn't know.
If she finds out tell her it's environmentally important to recycle things.
Get a piece of wooden dowl about an 11/4" drill a hole in the center the size of the original knobs one, take the clip out of the knackered one and insert into wooden dowl one.
That is almost a standard for these things, with a flat springy bit of steel on the flat of the D.
Maplin sell such things. I keep thinking I'll get round to getting one for the toaster.
