Hey guys, just asking if anyone here has a tread adapter M20 to a M12.
The think is, I got a new shifter from Moza for my racing rig, witch I believe is an M12 (should be the most standard thread for most car knobs), and I have a Scania Knob that I use for my Trucking simulator (from my internet search, should be an M20). 
Just wondering if someone have one laying around that can spare, or know where to find one. I don't know if I can find those on screwfix.

That sounds like something that would have to be custom made, Especially as the Scania thread may be fine pitch rather than the standard metric size, so it's a little more involved than just drilling out and tapping the end of a bolt, but still a relatively simple job on the lathe. M10 and M12 are common sizes for cars, but you still sometimes find imperial threads (eg. Landrover) which can look very similar, so watch out (use a thread gauge).

I think both are 1.5mm pitch

Well, worse case, I found this cylindrical connector nut, so I can use the side bolts like I was before with my G29 shifter.

You might be able to 3D print it
