There are two different diameters used commonly.

I used the same knob on my car.
It was the first fail point at SVA!!
The radius between the sphere and the badge was less than 2.5mm!

I have just swapped my Abarth knob (ex X19!) for a Lotus one on my car, the thread is M10x1.5.
The stainless steel ball knob types are usually held on with a M5 grub screw (2.5mm hex key)
Cheers Wicket, i have dropped them an email!!
