When i fitted my yashio factory gear knob I put some thread lock on it so it wouldnt loosen and hasnt moved since fitting it..its like a glue for nuts and bolts to stop them loosening..

Yep I can still get it back off if I need to but not very easily!!Im a mechanic and use it in work so I know what its like,you dont have to put much on,just a few drops..

wrap some ptfe tape round the thread before fitting it, that should tighten it up nicely :thumbs:

masking tape???? no that wouldnt work at all!!! ptfe tape found at all good plumbers merchants. its designed to make threads waterproof, but has the added benifit of making the fit tighter too
