MG TD TF 1500 - Knurled knob

I have finally got my dream car, an mg td 1953. I appreciate this forum already, answering several of the questions I have.
I have a "Runyan" luggage rack, an unfortunately one of the knurled knobs is missing. Does anybody know where I can find one?

I am not familiar with the Runyan rack. I have an Amco rack and it has 6 knurled knobs. 4 are 1/4-20 threads and 2 are 5/16-18 threads (standard sae). If this is what you need, they are available at Grainger.com. Grainger's knobs are the same diameter as my knobs, but the knurl pattern is different. I don't know if this is practicle for shipping to Norway, because the shipping will cost much more than the cost of the knobs, but perhaps there is a similar industrial supply catalog on your side of the pond!

Thank you, Steven, I shall follow this up!

Raymond, I found the website for the manufacturers of these knobs. Perhaps they have a distributer in your country.
