Threaded shift knob adapter?

[hasback]

I can not seem to track one done in a thread pattern that's useable. like 12x1.5 10x1.5 ect. can anyone send me a link if there is such a thing. im going from e30 shifter to the set screw adapter is what im after.

not the threading you requested but it's a threaded adapter.

Seen that one. I don't want to run that one. Hence my post. Thanks for reply though.

The shifter is 14mm in diameter. How do expect to find something that's 10 or 12mm?

m12 is probably the largest standard size for most shift knob manufacturers.

More importantly, why do you want to do this in the first place?

I would like to purchase other aftermarket shift knobs instead of the 10 most common ones I see on everyone's car. I feel it will open my options greatly by switching to a threaded style. All the oem BMW ones are boring or simply aren't heavy enough or to my likeing.

solved my own problem... cut the shifter down a bit. drilled and tapped the shifter to m10x1.5 and inserted a m10 stud. problem solved. works great and now i can buy more common knobs with some more weight. if anyones looking to do the same dont be discouraged. just take your time.

Thank you. I was on the exact same search recently for the same reason. I like a plain white ball, or bulbous white delrin. I have the resources, I contemplate making a run of something similar to the part linked above but in a common common thread with a nice taper into a shift boot retainer.

I have intended on doing this once I find a deal on a Z3 shifter rod.
