I used a green snooker ball for mine. I drilled it and tapped the M10 thread in it. Must get round the pubs tonight, I can see an opportunity here .
Do you want the number facing upwards or at an angle .
yours, Pete.
P.S. I got the ball on the car boot. Bloke was selling oddments off at 20p each from the snooker hall.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Once you've stripped the MT75 lever down you will find there is no thread. The lever splits into three main bits and the bottom 2 bits which you
must use are about 5"-6" and is just a round bar. I got a gear knob from Ripspeed (it's just a plain ali ball) and is just a very
tight push fit, no problems so far with it coming off. Suspect you could turn a thread on the end if you have a lathe and die.

theres no thread ! poo i have an MT75 you see.... oh dear do you think i could epoxy it on ?? would that work ? if i was going to eopxy it would you
sujest that i get the ball made with a slightly larger size like 1mm bigger so its not too much of a tight fit and i can get some epoxy down there...

How about making it a nice tight fit then fitting a couple of grub screws to the ball. It's not permanent then!

I clamped mine in the column drill vice and drilled as normal. You could hold it in a vice and file a flat on it then drill with a hand drill. They
drill easily and tap easily with a fluted tap.

I've just had an idea.
How about threading the bar on the gearstick using a die and then tapping the pool ball with the same thread.
