Tele knobs and switches don't fit

FriskyDingo

 Just finished building my tele kit and replaced the pots with cts ones and the knobs no longer fit. Which type do I need?
The cts are split shaft, also I now have a 4 way oak grisby switch which needs a new tip

American control parts require Imperial-sized knobs. Your kit parts are almost certainly Metric.

The splined pot shafts are intended for use with plastic knobs. Traditional metal "Tele / P Bass" knobs are intended to be fastened by a grub screw onto a solid shaft pot. 

It is possible to bodge proper Tele knobs onto a splined pot shaft by cramming something non-compressible into the split slot before attempting to tighten the grub screw. The consequence of doing this is that some of the splines on the shaft will be damaged where the grub screw tightens on. This damage could spoil the grip of the splines onto plastic knobs.

A compromise solution might be those hollow metal knobs with the plastic insert that pushes onto the splines. From a distance, it looks close enough to the real thing for a kit. I probably have a few spare ones in a box.

You can get split shaft sized Tele knobs that fasten with a grub screw. As the hole is the right size the knobs sit level, whereas using knobs designed for solid shaft pots they usually sit on split shafts a little skew-whiff due to the oversized hole.

Alternatively you can get solid shaft knobs and conversion sleeves that sit over the split shaft bringing the diameter up to 6.35mm for a good fit.

As for the tip look for one advertised as Fender spec or Oak/CRL compatible.
