Yes, the thread is the same but the shift pattern is different.

I think so too as the guys in the last Dodgy day fitted the same Voodoo knobs, they bought for NAs and NBs, on an NC.
Right AJ? :)

No idea about the hand-brake handle, but I wouldn't think so.
Gear knobs are relatively universal as there's probably only a dozen thread sizes if you include exotics like Porsche.
But keep in mind wun, the only place where it might bite you is when you tighten it and it doesn't face the front.

That's part of the reason why the Voodoo (and similar) was popular. It's a symmetrical ball, so it there is no front or back.

Damn ... and here I thought we would get away with not seeing the word \"Voodoo\" or \"knob\" for at least a week :P

Even i know the answer to that one... 8)

1 person to have the idea

2 people to confirm the idea

3 people to post the idea

4 people to participate in the group buy idea

5 people(minimum) to install the idea

It's starting to get dodgy.... :!: :shock: 8)

I think you can see where this is going....
