Hey Andy, thanks for reaching out!
The Blue Ox Patriot BRK2012 is an older system so unfortunately it doesn't have replacement push pads and knobs. You might be able to find someone selling their Patriot and you can piece it out, but if your kit is already falling apart then you might consider swapping it out for a newer system like the upgraded Patriot # BLU37TR or the Brake Buddy Select 3 # HM39524.
I personally like the Select 3 better, but it does require a little different wiring while the Patriot plugs in using a 12V accessory outlet like you'll already have available so it will literally be a plug and play install.
