Made my own, I think it was 10x1.25 threads. I know the 8 is upside down.

Old skuwl... sure. They have decent weight and act as a counterbalance when shifting, thus other the the nostalgia the bring to your car, they do serve a mechanical function.

Id just drill it out then put a nut at the top end and glue it in or jam it in some how.
This reminds me I have to go down and tighten my knob up as its getting some play now

I have an 8 ball knob on my JEEP.
You can find em all over ebay. just google it.
You can find them in all different thread sizes and also in kits with adapters.
Also cue *****, 9 ***** etc..
Has a nice feel to it, and fits nicely in your hand.
