4 Speed Shift knob threads
Does anybody know if Mercedes stuck with the same shift knob thread size through the 1990s? I have found a few good looking shift knobs on ebay off of much later cars and am wondering if there is any chance that they will fit. Thank you. -Bryan

I like this one off of a 1996 C280, Just wish I knew if it would thread on to the stock shift lever.

I like the look of Zebrano but not the feel, esp in the winter when its cold. And you have to worry about the finish getting scratched on the wood knobs. Leather is sooo Plush! I solved the problem for fitting one of those to a 124 car, by way of special MB arm off a 202. But I haven't fiured out how to put on a 123 yet. Here's pics of three leather knobs, two in original MB shades, the third is attached to the lever arm and after SEM painting to match the Burgundy interior on my silver '87 300Dt. No way was I going to put a tan or whatever color the other is in my Burg interior! The SEM paint turned out very well! Double click on the left pic and you will see SEM sample chips in the background. I may be able to get another arm for anyone interested (AFAIK is suitable124 chassis only!)
