Need Metric Thread Help!

[alex e]

Ok I am nuts for trying to do this but I'm trying to thread an 80-87 transfer case knob onto my 75 FJ40 transfer shift lever. I was going to cut and weld a 10mm fine thread bolt onto the lever and just install the knob that way. Then I had an idea. Thread a metric insert sleeve onto the transfer shift lever that in turn fits inside the '80-'87 knob. The OD has to be 10m, and I am figuring out the inside diam.

Question is where do I get the dang metric in and metric out threaded insert? McMaster seems to be lacking. Local awesome hware store has metric in or out but not both.

This is it, metric in and metric out, but threads must be fine.

m8X1.25 is a 5ve23, if you go to the grainger website click on the catalog #398 pdf and put in page 2398.

i get these from auto parts shop, local fastener supply or ACE hardware. i am lucky to have a fastener junky of an ACE owner local, you should see the section, its actually a seperate room in the back of the store. i tried to buy from the local grainger once, they told me w/o a commercial accnt they cant sell to me, huh, i prefer to give my money to small buisiness anyway.
