Pat,
Isn't it amazing how with a little tinkering, things (sometimes) just
seem to come together?
I assume you mean the knurled nut inside the wooden shifter knob.
This you can just stick in with some 5 minute epoxy.
Snce the threads are worn on the shifter itself, I would recommend a
repair with the 3 part thread repair kit from Locktite.
There is a little bottle of blue stuff and two syringes of quick curing
metal bearing epoxy stuff.
Mix equal parts from syringe A and B and spread inside the knurled nut
in the knob let it set for about 30 seconds. While you're waiting for the
30 seconds, apply sme of the blue stuff (it has a brush in the little
bottle) to the shifter thread. Then, thread the knob on. Let it sit for
an hour or so and the will be repaired. The blue stuff is a release agent
that allows you to remove the knob when you need to.
This is pretty good "stuff".
But alas, why foloow my instructions? Read the directions on the label.
I'm pretty sure they are right. (snicker, snicker)
That's my candy bar laff>
Oh what a mood to be in. Sorry you have to be the recipient of it.
Best Regards,
Tony
