wanted: dash light brightness knob
Does anyone have a spare knob for the dash cluster brightness control? My 1991 Corolla has been missing that knob since I got it and the local wrecker hasn't had any Tercels or Corollas in a long time, sadly. It looks like it's the same size as the Tercel's. Just let me know how much you want + shipping to Canada. Thank uuuuuuu.

You might check around eBay for one of a hilux or 4runner, too.

Thanks for the info, Jim. Just to be clear, you're saying the long tercel knob doesn't fit in your corolla or rav4?

Measure the diameter of the shaft on your Corolla. If the Tercel's is too small maybe you can drill it out slightly under size. I should have a spare free for shipping.

Re: wanted: dash light brightness knob
The big question is, did Canada Post lose it or crush it in their sorters...Sent it over a week ago.
