if i had the machines, i wold do just that. these are common sized adapters for shift knobs, but can't find just the adapter, only kits with 5 or 6 different sized ones, just seems like a waste since i'll never use the others. they aren't that expensive, the kits, like 8.00 plus shipping, so i guess it will be the best way. just hate the thought of having more hardware in a box that will never get used!!! lol |

Put them in the "That'll come in handy someday" section. Known to my wife as "All that crap". Funnily enough she never says anything when I repair something using "that crap". |

A few months from now, somebody's going to say in conversation, "I need a shift knob adapter, but can't find one." You'll have the chance to be a hero. |
