Go buy a nut w/ the right threads at any old hardware store. If not, you may be able to twist it in place after a while like I did w/ my shifter since my friend lost the nut.

or stuff a piece of paper into the hole in the knob till it'll only thread as far as you want.

I like it. Love SN95's and yours is sweet. I had the same style hood on my GT. I love my cobra, but my GT was my baby. The green and black work well.
