Many aftermarket shifter balls come with plastic sleeves now to fit any shaft diameter. If the fit is tight enough, you don't have to use the set screws although it is recommended. PT owners that don't want to change to an aftermarket shifter or be limited in selection with PT specific shifter balls, find that pressing on one of the universal shifter balls of there choice is just as good.

Personally, I installed a Hurst Shifter and had Bruce Roosa of KoolKnobs, custom make a couple of shifter balls for me. Sent him some factory paint (to match the exterior color) and a few pins to be molded in and I had what I wanted.
