Voodoo don't ft - how so, is the thread too small or too big?

the thread is right up inside the gear knob at the top so the spindle doesn't reach!

No doubt someone will make a rude comment about that!!

Right, so it would fit ... but the knob would sit too low on the shaft?

yes probably, but I don't think it would fit at all - it rattled about on the spindle.... anyway, it's not yellow......

Think you need to get a donor nob and powder coat it yellow.

Just seen this

You couldn't make it up

FWIW, a hacksaw in a careful set of hands will get the rest off, without damaging the thread.

going on the airbrush idea... TypeR Knob, have a bee airbrushed on the back side of it and laquered?
im thinking more of a detailing/signature type design than anything too in ur face...
