[simpits-tech] to STEVE, re: throttle arm

[Marv De Beque]

Thanks for the offer for the knobs, but like I said before, the drawings are
of little use to me.  No way do I want to make complex molds from scratch
for knobs.

It is 100 times easier to make a mold from a real knob and it is more
accurate, to boot.
