SLO Dave screen name.

Finding the correct insert for a G50 Wevo was a PITA. Finely called Wevo. It was 16mm best I can remember.

Custom made for me from skateboard deck maple

Does work for Singer too, that’s saying something.
Those who visit OT may remember the electric guitar he made from scratch. Spectacular build!

Interesting.

My G50 shifter arm has a threaded top. I believe it was M8. Can not remember exactly.
It does not have a hole to receive an insert you have shown. The knob I fashioned has a threaded hole that I screwed onto the shifter arm.

Like it? Love it! Feels so good in hand / in use. Looks amazing too. My goal with this car is that any mods improve drivability, reliability and performance (in that order) and be as stealth as possible (i.e. 95% of people wouldn't otherwise know). This shift knob, while a bit more noticeable, fits the bill.

All G50 have the specs I wrote, all knobs I make for a G50 have the adapter in my photo (including famoroso), you have an aftermarket shift lever by Wevo, it should be M16 X 1.5

I had zero idea that my shift lever, provided by Wevo, was different. I ordered it from Wevo two years ago and was not aware there were different levers for the G50. I used what they sent not thinking there was another option. Yes M16 x 1.5.

I can't make up my mind & rotate thru these:

I still have the Momo race air leather knob that I used to run on my 914s. Great knob.
