Yep, I'm a old gear hear and I had one in my 40 Ford...
But back then I used a metal threaded insert to hold it on...or tried to,
3/8-24 insert ,if I recall and it would not stay on the shifter,2nd gear would take it off every time, hahahahahaha the good old days of 3 speed floor shift...

and the 327 chev eng.with 2ea. 4b carbs. I sure miss that car
I just recalled one I had in my 60 Pont. that was a bit over size (4" dia,) and when you push the clutch in then it would shift just like a auto tran. that's to say it was so hvy. it would drop from 2nd. gear to 3rd ,hahahahaha

and it would just touch the windshield when it was in 2nd gear. long sucker I know but you know gear heads, got to show off the gear shifter and it did keep the person in the middle of the seat on his/her toes...

It's funny now but back then it was the thing to do,I just recalled the clutch I had in that thing,12" B&W that took both feet to push it in and I was the only one that could drive that car, guess why hahahahaha, gear heads got to love them.....

when you dropped the clutch you dropped the hammer in that one....4,000 rpm and hang on... hahahahahaha

... good old days.
