Throttle Handles

The Boeing 737 throttle knobs 1 & 2

There are a few versions of these; the current style is the Boeing 737 NG and the older Boeing 737 – 200 styles. Both the original handles have a rounded shape connection pattern for the lever to attach to, but the more popular shape lever for your homemade throttle will probably have a more triangular shape, but it is still possible to use the NG style handle.

Both handles have their own number (1 or 2) engraved in black, the earlier models had only the number 1 or 2, but newer versions have A/T disengage (auto throttle disengage) engraved in black under the number. They are held on by a single screw countersunk into the lever. As seen below left
