Loctite the adapter into the ball and use a thin locknut on the handle.

This.
But, you'd think a knobs made for a shifter would have the correct threads to begin with.

Not it they are made in China. Not sure what kind of ball you are looking at but you can get different ones with the thread you need here.

if the ball you are wanting can't be sourced in the link Moparite posted, using the helicoil fix posted above would be my choice, instead of trying to cob together a metric insert that will eventually fail, most likely sooner than later. also, the thin "jam nut" is an excellent suggestion, as it will secure the ball in the position you want, as well as allowing for easy removal if needed, as opposed to using the green or red loctite. just my personal life experience "playing with full size cars" for almost 60 years. your mileage will vary.

No... The REAL question is why in the hell did everyone have to bastardize everything and convert to metric to begin with Actually, in the big picture, Metric was first. And if you think about it, it makes more sense.

And if you think about it, it makes more sense. Well, USS standards predated Metric standards by 34 years, I'd say no metric wasn't first.

We were talking about metric vs SAE threads, Inches/feet/yards/miles have been around for longer than there was the country called France, much less a metric system.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Standard_thread  United States Standard thread (USS thread), also known as Sellers Standard thread,[1] Franklin Institute thread[1] and American Standard thread,[2] is a standard for inch based threaded fasteners and washers.[3] The USS standard is no longer supported. It, together with the SAE fastener standard, was incorporated into the Unified Thread Standard. However, the term, USS, continues to be used occasionally today to describe inch based threaded fasteners with a coarse thread pitch and inch based washers that are a little bit larger than the corresponding SAE washer. The Unified Thread Standard uses the term UNC (Unified Coarse) to describe a fastener that previously would have been designated USS and UNF (Unified Fine) to describe a fastener that would have previously been designated SAE.

Trying to jam metric threads onto standard threads, or vice versa, is a recipe to tear up everything.
Same with metric tools on standard fasteners, or vice versa.
Don't be a hilljack who doesn't understand what the numbers mean, and uses the "close enough" and/or "well, it fit" system.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.
