jonas was selling some here awhile back and i sent him a private msg about where to send a money order to and he replied about how much they were but not an address. and i never got another reply after asking again where to send him some money.

i still want some, hopefully somebody else has got em.

i liked the ones he had they are cool. i was just figuring that someone would know where to get ahold of some. if not i guess i wi talk to a machinist and have em make me some. id like to find some premade. the nicer the better.

[garrick]

yeah i was looking forward to getting some of those but i gave up on it.

real good one doug.......... hey doc i will let ya know i have a friend whos a machinist and i guarantee he can make em if i cant find em. hey doug i was looking for universal sets to go with the shift knobs.

sorry... "universal" isn't a size.

I'm guessing you're talking about a threaded insert to epoxy into a boro knob?

what is "universal" ? my guess would be 1/4-20 or 3/8-18... but I don't know, it could be metric... or is there some kind of universal taper deal? ... just asking about the specs of the part.

I'd look around Barnhill bolt, wood workers supply wood crafters etc...

Hit up Chris at Dichrome. I believe if you are drilling the knobs yourself, you can get inserts that are vehicle specific from him if you find out the thread pitch and diameter . He has been a great account for me, check out Dichrome.com and get a hold of him
