Anyone have experience using Momo shift knobs with their "universal adaptors?" They have some nice pieces, but I am not sure if their attachment system is really solid.
Momo shift knobs

It's not very solid. Mine comes loose every other month.
The knobs are fitted to the shifter with a rubber bushing. The knob kit comes with several to fit over a variety of thread sizes. Ultimately, it is fixed to the shifter with three set screw that are really too small to hold for long. Still though, I like the shifter knob and someday I figure out a way to make it work. I like the challenge.

I too have a Momo shifter knob. My cousin gave it to me, he ordered from Saleen, I like it a lot, my hand fits nicely. But, the damn three little screws do come loose quite often. I just carry a little allen wrench in my center console so I can tighten when need be.

You guys might want to try some blue Loc Tite on those screws.
My handle screws were vibrating loose once every couple of weeks. I got fed up and Loc Tited them. Worked like a charm.
Only use blue so you can get it off if you want. Other colors are more permanent.

That is some great advice....I'll have to try that too.:beer:
Thanks for all the replies, guys. Given the info, I'm inclined to stay with a knob that has stock Ford threads and not have to worry about losing it while I;, doing a power shift! Wish there were more nice knobs with stock threads, though. Most are billet (gets too hot in the summer) or plastic-- can't find any round leather knobs.
You can get an MGW and take the 12.5mm threaded shaft out and replace it with one with SAE threads. That will give you a wider range of knob choices.
Do you mean use an MGW handle (which I have) that has different threads than the one I got for the Cobra? The threads on that shaft are stock Ford size (fits my stock knob). Or do you mean there is an insert that I can take out of an MGW knob (like the Gripper) and put in another knob?
Where did you buy the Ford Motorsports handle??
