    Where can I find the original matching black knobs w/ white lettering for the lights, wiper, and choke for a 69 CJ5 ?????

    I've found the lights knob and a choke cable, each sold alone, but no "wiper" knob.

    Thanks,

    I am still looking. I did a search and found I have been looking for a few years with no luck.

    There aren't any new replacement knobs that say wiper. What you can do is order just a light switch knob from Walck's. I know he would sell it. Then you take some acetone and wipe off the lettering. If you can find them, get some of those rub on letters and put "wiper". If you can get creative, you might be able to paint that curved arrow, then spray the knob with some clear spray paint. You will also have to drill out the threads on that new knob as the wiper switch knob hole was smooth. That's the only way I have heard of to make it as close to original

    I bought a NOS wiper knob from Willys Overland in Toledo a couple of years ago, in original factory packaging. Not very expensive. I think the factory part No. is 943924 but they can look it up for you. Knob was identical to the one on my 69 CJ5 when I got it back in 1973.
