Yo dandan,well they're all the same across the B2 80 range, whether quattro, Sport coupe. Not too up on the threads, but it's going to be a UNC. The top of the stick would need a 12mm diameter thread I should think, but if he's got a GTi one & can compare it. If it's within a knats of this then I'd say they were the same. Cheers.

I know b3 80 gear stick is the same thread as mk2 golf as the gear knob in mine is from trimsport that
do alloy inteirer bits for golfs

I fitted an 8 ball to my mk2 golf, all I did was purchase an 8 ball from ebay for about £2 delivered, then drill a hole into the ball and keep on changing the bits making the hole bigger etc, but not too big because you want to smash the 8 ball onto the shaft.

Then I put a plank of wood over the 8 ball and hammered it onto the shaft. The 8 ball never came off and looked like a fantastic mod for £2!! If you make your hole too big then use some super strenght adhesive like windscreen mastic or something to glue that down securely.
