I don't know the size, but I can pass on a tip I was given by a fellow forum member. If you can't locate the thread adapter, a piece of rubber hose will work. I had to slit a piece to fit it inside the new shift ball, but that provided enough pressure that it's still on the Hurst shifter. Plus it absorbs a small amount of vibration.

I was just going to replace it. The problem is that there is more than one size.... Just like life, choices.

All I wanted was a "t" shifter handle and can't find one.

When I bought my Hurst T-handle it came with three different thread adapters. I bought mine at O'Reilly Auto. The B&M T-Handle at Advanced Auto Parts has them also.
