It's just 0,35 mm larger so it'll work. The knob will be a little, a fraction of a mm, off centre.

No! It won't work, because it's a collet knob, not one with a grub screw.hobiesound said:
If you try to overtighten the collet, you will ruin the thread and achieve nothing. You may try to use adhesive tape on the shaft to fatten it.pedrocruz said:
I'm quite surprised you can't find the metric ones, they are generally readily available.

Alu tape worked for me, just put the right thickness and make a tiny overlap on top of the shaft to help preventing the tape from slipping to the base when you insert it into the knob.

I don't know if you're in Europe, but Sibalco has a lot of sifam knobs:

I have tried two turns of copper tape with good result together with ELMA knobs, which is the same type of knobs as Sifam. That is also working with knobs using two set screws.
