    Is the bottom one not an ashtray? the upper I believe was a throttle cable. Been awhile since I have had a 39 so I might be wrong.

    Yep, throttle and lighter on the left. I found a woodgrain ashtray laying on the rear floorboard and I was going to ask where it went next. I assumed back of the seat maybe. I must be missing a bracket or something because it’s flat on the backside
     
  8. The original knobs are often missing, but re pops are availble, I think I got my knobs from bob Drake?? here is the dash in my 39 right after paint and assembly. The Lighter is the hard one, as the original knob will only fits the early element, I believe a 37 to 40 element will work. I'm still looking for one..... 20190710_223129.jpg

    Thanks everyone, I never noticed that was an ash tray. It looks like I just need to purchase the handle for it and the choke.
