I manufactured black walnut shift knobs and sold them (at cost ) to folks on the other site. I found inserts which work well but require some special tools to install them. I also on my own car ran a threading die on the shift shaft and added a few more threads. Then I cut off about 1/4" from the top of the shifter.
