Peter This is who / what I ordered and this fits. Might be worth asking them the thread size. Ebay Pool Balls Unfortunately, this seller does not ship to the US. I was all set to buy a red 3 ball shifter knob  Not to bump an old thread, but it took some digging to find this link. I remembered it, just not exactly where it was.

A number of years ago I ordered a direct, screw on shift knob for my Miata from this gentleman: The Knobmeister The quality was very good, and I believe he will do any color in metal or wood. They are weighted for feel. This guy is big in the Miata community, so I'm sure he can make you a nice screw-on knob for the M3W gearbox.

Biggest knob among those tiny little Miata knobs  (I loved my Miata...one of the best cars I ever owned - and I love the Miata community - but I couldn't resist!)

Thanks for the info, I may go for a wooden one at some point, but I like that the 3 wheeler logo has a red circle with the 3 in it, and the #3 pool ball is red with the 3 in a circle! Too perfect.

These do look gods, the only thing with the pool ball is that the gaiter doesn't fit up to so leaves a gap. I'll post up a picture to show in the next day or so.
The knobmeisters look like a better solution especially with the tapper at the base which looks like it would overcome this problem.

Got any pics of the knob on your Morgan? Been thinking about replacing mine but can't decide on what look/direction to go. A number of years ago I ordered a direct, screw on shift knob for my Miata from this gentleman: The Knobmeister The quality was very good, and I believe he will do any color in metal or wood. They are weighted for feel. This guy is big in the Miata community, so I'm sure he can make you a nice screw-on knob for the M3W gearbox.

Blake I haven't ordered one for my car yet (as it hasn't been delivered).
Full disclosure - I copied your build, same color, same interior. You just have too much taste - and I couldn't decide!
Cheers

hah, you're going to love it! thats what i get for ready a post on my phone while trying to do too many things, i initially read it that you had ordered one of the knobmeister's in the past for a previous morgan, but now realize you said for an old miata. my bad to make up for it, here's a teaser for some eye candy i'm going to drop on the forums this weekend but haven't gotten around to posting the full gallery. enjoy  Blake I haven't ordered one for my car yet (as it hasn't been delivered).
