Shift stick thread adapters?
Does anyone make adapters for the shift stick to fit ***** of other sizes on them?
I want to put a 12mm **** on our 16mm stick, am I SOL?

It's the Cobra 10th anniversary ****, carbon fiber (fabric feeling, no plastic covering the fabric, or fake-fiber look, and has an aluminum 6-speed pattern on the top)
A friend of mine has one in his mustang, just feels right in my hand, so I'm trying to find an adapter, or if it's reasonable to rethread my stick

i don't know about this "adapter" thing.. you can always do some simple modifyin 
just clamp the thing down, drill a hole into where the 12 mm nut is, and (you have two options)
-go buy a 16 mm nut and set it in the hole with some glue
-go buy some threading compound, fill the hole up
then just twist your newly modified stick shift on...
shouldn't be that hard. unless you don't have a drill and boring bit.

Do you have a stock or aftermarket shifter?
If you have an aftermarket, I'd have a machine shop turn the shifter down and re-thread the shaft.
If you have a stocker, I'd say you're outta luck.. although it's a great excuse to buy a Pro 5.0...

hmmm, I might have to look into this. I have a craftsman lawnmower with a handle that would make for an awesome pistol grip ****. The thread is too small though.
...and yes, I would suffer using the lawnmower without a shift ****

Here is what I'm considering:
1. Drilling out the ****, and either glueing a 16mm nut, or going with the threading compound, but where could I find threading compound? Home Depot?
2. Taking the stick to a machine shop and having them turn it down to 12mm, do you think it would cost much??
