I have one of those, try as I might I cannot get the 3 set screws to retain the lower locking collar with any rigidity. If I can find a similar threaded one the I shall replace it.

The 3 screws do not retain the lower collar they retain the knob once it is screwed down, the lower collar then screws onto the bottom of the knob over the 3 screws.

Once the knob is tightly screwed down are all three screws evenly tightened onto the shaft? If that is done then it should hold the knob tightly.

I put one of the Richbrook Shift Knobs (I think it's what Morgan is selling) on for about half price, available here = GBP24.36 + 7.99 shipping. First saw them in Peter Dron's Morgan book. They're not two tone finish though; a brighter polish than the brake knob, but not mirror. I got lazy and order this one. I might spin it in the lathe to buff a matte finish to match the brake handle. Thanks for the link 3GS
