Hi,

The shift knob on my '72 Midget seems to have lost
whatever internal threads it had. While I can't exactly
slide it on and off the lever without turning it, that's
getting close. What I ain't sure of is .. is this the
"original" midget knob? Its round, a black plastic
cylinder tapering at the bottom to meet the gear lever.
Kinda an upside down cone with a cylinder on top. The top
of the knob is a clear plastic lens under which is the
4-speed gear pattern in white on a black background.

Questions:

1. Is this the original
2. If this is the original, any ideas on how to "fix" the
   stripped threads? 
2. If this is not the original, what does the original look like?

thanks Millions,

chuck
