jase4072 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 So, after searching the forum for the thread size I opted to follow the M12 X 1.25 advice. It turned out to be the wrong choice as I actually have the M10 x1.25 thread .. Grrrr. I now have a rather cool Top Secret billet gear knob all the way from Japan sitting on the shelf whilst I work out where to find a thread adaptor. I did think about sending it back and exchanging it but its not how the company operates so I need to adapt and overcome. Any ideas where I can get a thread adaptor.

jujun Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I had the same problem with my blox knob as the thread was too wide, so I bought this http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/JDM-shift-knob-adapter-to-fit-thread-10x1-25-and-will-convert-to-12x1-25-/322099139419?txnId=1598736517011 Did the job for me and prefer it over the brass one that ended shredded when it came with mine originally Sent from my D6683 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
