I like how you can buy a knob independently from the others. ---

Yes, this was smart. The only reason I didn’t participate in the interest thread was because I use TC’s kit and didn’t need the side discs. But I just bought the three knobs. 🙂 ---

I must admit that back when the prototype picture came out, I was going to pass on these, especially as the prototype of front knob looked quite off… but seeing the photos above changed my mind, and I’ve actually ordered two sets… one for my new aluminium Proton Gun, and one for a secret project. ---

Are the “Side Discs” a solid piece of machined metal, or are they [crank knobs](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob) (meaning the smaller discs are machined separately and attached to the larger discs via a pin, separate from the bolt that attaches the Side Disc to the gun body)? ---

We were not happy with that front knob with the prototype and had to change it. The new one is much better. ---

Got mine Tuesday, installed them in about 10 min. They look great. My only complaint is that it would have been nice if there were nuts for the side discs and top knob. But it was an easy fix. Sent from my DROID X2 using Ghostbusters Fans on Android ---

> [@\-=Slimed\_Hero\_Ray=-](#): > > I just got my order in today, and they look amazing. Will the other knob become a reality as well?.. AJ has posted in the main knob topic that the small [side knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ecto-goggle-side-knobs), also known simply as a shaft collar, is unlikely to be produced. However, there are retailers on this forum who have manufactured the shaft collar and list it amongst the other machined metal elements on their respective sites and marketplace topics. ---

The aluminum knobs really dress up the gun more than I thought. They catch the light better than painted resin… Totally legit. ---
