sutton, ma
I need the replacement knobs that hold in the ash pan. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I can get them if I buy the whole ash pan assembly.

I've just got a basic nut on it now.

Anyone have an idea where I can find them?
 
Would replacement knobs that were not OEM Breckwell, but were close in appearance be OK?
Something like these.....?

I'm guessing either 5/16-18 or 3/8-16 thread(?)
If not much heat where they are located, could they be a phenolic plastic?

I'll have to check the exact threads. But those are good ideas.

I did find the damper knob is the same. Hardened plastic of some sort
