Thanx for the headsup Mossy. I have two of the black and gold that are going on the fork stanchions and a blue one going on the NOS bottle.AliExpress has a bunch of different knock off Eddy head badges
Thanx Tom, yes period correct ....... I had a BSA 500cc Split port single when i was a kid [15 ] and that had a hand gearchange with bakelight knob. A neighbour took the chair off the bike to fit to his brand new Pride and Clarke Panther sloper and gave the BSA to me !!Bakelite was a common knob material with metal thread inserts. I have a couple in one of my bins.
Quick look found these. Amazon.com: Bakelite Lever Knob,5pcs M10*35 Threaded Handling Round Ball Knob Black,for Machine Tool Replacement : Industrial & Scientific
Likely they can be found in what we call a Hardware Store.
