Default Momo Shift *****: How well do they fit?

I thinking of getting a Momo shift **** for my manual with a Hurst shifter. How do these lock into place? Is there a jam nut or a set screw? Are the threads the right size? Anyone have any issues locking it down. I want to be sure the only rattling is from the Hurst

I have one (simple chrome ball) with three set screws (allenhead) around the collar. They fit well. No problems in five years. Stock shifter.

Momo's are universal, and come with various size rubber bushings that sliip over the shifter shaft (they don't thread on).
Grab the right sized bushing, fit it over the shaft, drop the trim cap and the **** on, tighten the 3 small set screws at the base of the ****, and screw on the lower trim cap.

I've had one on my car for 3 years, and no problems with it loosening or making noise.

Thanks for the responses guys! I wasn't sure how well these universal ***** fit, but sounds like that's not an issue.
