Hello everyone!!
I have a question about installing a shift knob I have. A while back I got the DTM style illuminated knob from bavauto ( http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2439/dtmknobwb8.jpg ) but it is only held on by three tightening screws at its base. It came loose all the time and I would always have to tighten it. It finally came loose too often so I just replaced it with a new stock knob.
Here is my question:
Can I drill into the knob to put at least one of the screws all the way through so that it will not come loose anymore? If so, what would be the best method to do this?
I was wondering if this would weaken the lever or cause any other permanent damage. Also, If anyone has any other suggestions I would be more than happy to take them at this point.
thanks,
Chris
