<DIV>I did a quick search on the Samba type 3 forum for "shift knob thread
size", and Russ Wolfe stated it was M 12 x 1.50 or 1.75. He was going to
double check it, but he never got to it. It is the coarser of the 2 threads,
which is probably the 1.50. Since you have a 69, then the correct color will
be all black. I hope this helps.
