[urq] early style pneumatic diff lock knobs

[Charles Baer]

Maybe I'm laboring under a misconception.

My '84 4K had a wide flat knob on it, easy to just slap your knuckles 
into the
panel and pull, wide enough to whack unlocked with a flip of your 
fingers and
not miss it.

The urq never had a knob and this new one is more of a tapered cylinder, is
that what most people have  ??  No wonder so many of you put in the rotary.

Still considering one of those bling-bling tuner knobs with buttons so I 
could
run the whole works with solenoids ;)
