The measurement I need is this dimension-

a.jpg

The replacement dials for a Focus measure 30mm.

yeah I will check tomorrow, but that measurement seems to be between 350-400mm

Just measured a set i had laying around in the shed.

Circle diameter is 34 mm.

Also see the pictures for the rest of the looks "behind the scenes" so to speak ;)

I would also like a set in my Fusion (same controls as a Fiesta) but the middle knob won't fit without some homemade modifications. Is a 6 mm steel pin with 1 flat side so completely different from the outer 2.

The outer 2 are, as far as i can see from the pictures, the same as a Focus although i think they the ones in the Focus are somehow different in the way they are held on.

Oh yeah, I meant 35mm not 350mm

That's what i thought ;) but i thought pictures speak louder than words :rolleyes:

I tried to pull one knob out, didn't work. I think the only way to get them out is to stick 3 thin knifes or something like that between the 3 white fingers, spreading them gently, and then pull it out.

And the only way to get the replacement knobs to stick would be to make a groove in the new knob with a Dremel or to grind the 3 white fingers a bit so they still grip a little. The first option would be the best i think.

And the middle knob would be somewhat more difficult, sawing off the back of the original knob, grinding it down so it will fit into the new knob and glue it with epoxy or something like that. The only thing to look out for is to place it correctly so the knob is placed correctly.

Shame they don't have ready made for Fiesta/Fusion.

lost some profits having to purchase the paint but still better than nothing

the illuminated ignition ring lights are only 2 euro each from China as well selling on eBay for 15gbp each

Cheaper than a return for refund.

I've edit this guide thismorning to transfer all images from the image host Photobucket over to the forum,

This means the images will now display forever without me having to pay a monthly fee to Photobucket.

The forum didn't host images back when I created the guides.

I plan to transfer all images in each of my guide's as I get the time across the coming weeks. 👍

I'm asking myself how I missed seeing this thread when I still had my Mk 2.5 Focus? ah well! Anyway. those new knobs (well, new at the time) look great compared to the originals!😀

  • 10 months later...

I ordered mine almost 3 months ago and today they finally arrived. It took less than 5 minutes to install them. For about $4, they look way better than the originals in my opinion.
