Pool ball gear knob?

[Hazey-n-Marc]

Not much of a customisation I know, but Hazey wants one, so are there any available for a BIS?

Marc unscrew the original and measure the dia of the thread on the end of the stick as the 8ball comes with two hole dia.  Plenty on ebay, I bought my 13ball at retro rides.

I have one- there's a guy on retro rides who will custom drill them for you.

Cool, cheers.

Can anyone tell me what the thread size is for the BIS? I'm wanting a pool ball too, but I have no calipers and can't find out the size via google or anywhere else

Does anyone know? I think the aircooled 126 and old 500's have the same thread. I hate to beg but I want to get one ordered in time for Retro Rides

I could ask tomorrow a guy close to work, he is a real thread guru...

Thank you! If I had to harbour a guess, it would be M11 x 1.25

You're close, I just checked it is M10 x 1,25. I have two gearshift mechanism (both for aircooled, I think) One of them doesn't have thread, but has some sort of slots to push knob on to...

English word for those is 'splines' many thanks for the info mate!
