Default Heater Knobs on 411 Series 3

Hi.

Does anyone know what the original knobs looked like on the Series 3?

Bristol Cars parts suggest a hexagonal shape. I had a single dial. The smaller of the two (1 3/8 inches) is the one on my car and the larger was sent from Bristol but is too big. They are now suggesting the hexagonal style.
Both shown below.
It needs to fit over a hexagonal 5-sided pin.
One of mine broke and am looking to replace so just looking to confirm what the correct style//part is.

Many thanks for any guidance...

Richard

The knobs above the ruler are from a 407/8/9/10.
The smaller of the two knobs on the right hand side of the picture with the blue background is the one you want. It was used on all the 411s
I've never seen the one on the left before.

The smaller of the two round knobs is what's on my 411 S5, on a hexagonal shaft with a spring loaded retaining pin.

This guy may be able to make one for you;

Thanks so much Kevin H and Barrie for confirming the correct part.
It seems they are not clear about this at Bristol parts.
Thanks for the link , i'll certainly contact your source.

Many thanks again.
