Gear shift knob for M38

Post by GeorgeMcKenzie »

I bought a knob for the gear shifter leaver for my M38 CDN . The leaver is about 3/8 " in diamiter . and the hole in the knob is about 1/8 " .This is a push on one so do I have to make the hole bigger or can it be forced on the leaver .This is the only M38 in my area so I could use some advice on this Thanks for any help George

Knobs

My M38 has screw on knobs and my M38A1 has push on knobs. I did replace the knob on my A1 and the replacement knobs hole was a very small diameter - cram it on and it will hold tight. If you enlargen the hole it will be a loose fit and the knob could come off.
That's the hole knobby story! :lol:
