Looking for ideas for small non working knobs

[767300]

Hi guys,
Im looking for some ideas for the small knobs that populate the MIP of the 767 panel. Such as the knobs on the TRP and the knobs for the altimiters and knobs on the ADFs.

Or

I got these from EBay and just painted them white for my 767 cockpit:

What are these Trevor? Some great Ideas from the rest of you guys. Ive bought a lot of stuff from simparts. The toothpaste caps is a good idea. There are some smaller almost triangular knobs on the RDMI on the 767, its these I want to make.

Thanks for all the links and tips.

Trevor,

What are "Wire Nuts"

Wire nuts are used to join two wires
Both ends are stripped and put inside the nut where there is a spring coil..turn the nut andthe two wires are twisted together and make a perfect and protected electrical contact...widely used in North America instead of bars or dominos.

In Canada, we call them Marettes, but I don't think I know how to spell it, so I just put wire nuts :)
