Hi
I'm looking for a gearknob for my mini but all aftermarket ones are either 10mm, 12mm or grub screws
mini's are 5/16 thread
Anyone have any experience with aftermarket gearknobs?

damn, yeah i threw it all together last minute
i found an english internet computer at the hotel, and looked up mini delta's address, wrote it down and gave it to the lady at the information desk who rang them up and then got directions of how to get there :D

then the directions werent exactly correct so we went to a gas station and asked the attendant were mini delta was, and he pointed us in the right direction, there is a huge mini delta sign up in the sky, you cant miss it!
