Technical Anybody know the shift knob thread pitch for the FIAT 126?

[darkstrike]

Title says it all!

I'm currently in the process of importing a 126 from Italy and have a shift knob that was a gift from a dear friend many years ago. It's been in a lot of my cars that meant a lot to me so would love to be able to mount it in the 126 when it arrives!

Anybody know what the thread pattern/pitch is on the 126's gear lever?

Cheers!

Did Google banned you from searching such basic information? You need forum?
Wait till the car arrives, then check the thread.
Standard should be M10x1,25 (but some say it's M8 or other size/pitch). So wait.

@GrandePunto PL Wow, no need to be so rude, and way to go being so kind to a new member of the forum...

Yes, I did use Google to search for this, but most stores selling replacement knobs don't mention the thread pitch/pattern at all, and I found various sites saying it was M10, and others saying it was M8, as you ALSO say, so I was hoping somebody would be kind enough to provide positive specific clarification, not curtly call me out...

YOU don't even say which it is for certain, so you can see my reason for asking

I don't see the harm in me asking in advance, as it means I can order parts ahead of time so they are already here for when the car arrives!

@GrandePunto PL usually does that, I think you caught him in a bad day!
I wish you other colleagues who know for sure to come and answer your question.
Otherwise, as our colleague rudely mentioned, you'll have to wait and possibly post the answer yourself after you ge your 126.

I feel like you're not really a member of the forum until you've had an encounter with our resident grumpy Pole!
So you should take it as a compliment really
It's just their way of saying hello
We all love him really

Hi and welcome by the way
Yeah no idea what the thread is either But enjoy your 126

@rmjbn1 @Mike1alike Thanks for the welcome - already forgiven @GrandePunto PL , but he should work on his bedside manner

OK, I'll have to see what I figure out when it arrives....not sure when that is yet, it's being shipped through a shared container with another gentleman who has a classic car shop and is importing some cars himself!
