205/203 shifter handle thread size??

[rdn2blazer]

I searched, all be it not good, but whatever. Does anyone know what size the shifter lever thread size is??? Thanks for the help. I THINK it's 1/2-20 but I'm not absolutely sure. I'm not at home where I can check. I'm machining my own tripple stick shifter handles and I want to install Stainless Steel Keenserts of the right size. Any one know?

Intresting, Well, as long as they are atleast 1/2 something I can drill & tap for a Keensert. The tap & drill size is the same for both ofcourse. Then it just depends on what insert I install. Anybody else have any info?? Thanks dremu.

I just grabbed a stock NP205 shifter I had laying around and threaded a 7/16-20 die on the end of it. It appears the NP203 is the same.

Good thing I have not drilled these yet. I wonder if there are different sizes. I will check mine when I get home from work.

I think most aftermarket shifter is 1/2" round stock. They just thread it for 1/2 NFT. The factory shifter looks like 3/4 reduced to 7/16 at the end.
