Title: 205 shifter knobs
Post by: DTrain on December 18, 2011, 02:15:29 pm

I am working on replacing my 208 with a 205. I have finally gotten all the parts needed for the swap except for one thing, the shifter knob itself. I have found all different styles and one in particular that I really like. The problem I have been having is thread sizes. What I have come up with is that there is a 3/8 and a 7/16 thread size and I cant find a knob that I am partial to in the 7/16 thread size. If the shifters weren't so expensive I would just swap mine for one with the 3/8 thread size. So, I'm wondering if you guys would be willing to show me your shifter knobs that have a 7/16 thread so I can refine my search a little bit. Thanks

Why not rethread the shifter to the 3/8" spec, and use your favorite knob?

I have honestly thought about doing that. I guess I'm just checking my options first.
