Steering wheel knob (suicide knob)
 
Looking for a suicide knob for our cart. I found one at Auto Zone but it was a tad tacky. Since they are legal in Florida (or there is nothing in the code that makes them illegal) I was hoping there would be more available but so far no local luck. Any suggestions?

I've used the Seasense spinner on my boat for 10 years and am very pleased with it. This knob might be suitable for your use.

Thanks....I was hoping for a local source but online will have to do....I thought with all the carts and personalizing it could be a good mover.

I bought mine at either Lowes or Home Depot. It's in the lawn tractor area.

Check Lowes. A fried bought one for his cart there. I forget what section they were in but I think he said lawn and garden. There is also a big selection on Amazon.com

Tractor Supply in Leesburg has a selection.

JoMar 10-04-2014 07:47 PM

Thanks to everyone who responded.....will check them all.

Try the 75 chrome shop -- a trucker's toy store - they have all different kinds of them - near I-75 in Wildwood - a local shop.

HaHa, never heard it called that.

I bought a used Ca Roadster and it has a silver skull with red eyes as the spinner knob. At first I was going to remove it. But I LOVE it. It makes turns so easy!! It is an option I never would have chosen for myself, female and petite, but it is indeed awesome!

I highly recommend it, especially to other women, it makes turning the cart so much easier!

There is a reason they call them suicide knobs..............

Years ago I had a golf ball suicide knob, loved it! Unfortunately it broke and I can not find one like it anywhere.

I really like my 8 ball. Big enough to fit right in your hand for an easy steer. I got it on line.
