Wish I could tell you, but I just have the tools I use for it in a bag! Search around for it though, I have a thread on it somewhere that states the size drill bit and tap I use.
I have a spare knob here, I'll make one for ya

Did you use a drill press or did you hold the knob in a vice and do it with a hand drill?

Great. Thanks for letting me know though before I ruined a good knob.
I am now thinking I may commision a co-worker who owns a machine shop to make one for me. this way I can get the shape and weight I want. Probably alot cheaper too.

I'm like the majority of the people here. Voodoo is the only knob I like the feel of.
I've used the OEM AP1, OEM AP2, a heavier knob that was borrowed from another member, I don't recall which one it was, and have had 2 different Voodoo knobs.

I'm not big into the feel of balls in my hand 
That's the ony reason I don't think the voodoo will work for me. Seriously, I am not a fan of the shape. The more oblong examples seem to be better for me.

As far as I'm concerned the Muz knob really is the best. I had a Voodoo and the thing was too small I hated it. Not only is the Muz slightly bigger but if engraved the set screw allows you to place the shift pattern perfectly.
