New stop knob & cable

If anyone is looking for a recommendation when replacing the stop knob & cable, I have just bought one from Queensberry Tractor Parts in Lockerbie. It is almost identical to the original, which had just given up the ghost.
It's rare to find a modern replacement part that so closely resembles the original in design and quality. I mention this because I couldn't find this particular cable listed anywhere else.
Hope this helpful.
Best, Adrian. :thumbs:

Thanks Adrian! Its hard to find the original "wound wire" style.

Quite right, Pat. Some manufacturers of the cheap reproductions forget that the cable has got to push as well as pull.
I was really pleased with the design of the knob. You'd be hard pushed to notice that it isn't an original one. It's really only its newness that gives it away.
