the stock knob could have a loose tolerance as well since it a mass produced part.
the UMI stick may have tighter tolerances due to be a smaller/more controlled production run.
and then finally, the new knob may have tighter tolerances as well being a low amount produced at a time.
in the end, 2 items with tight tolerances will be harder to match up.
this could very well be the issue you're running into.
finding out the exact thread size and pitch of the UMI stick would be the first step and then find a tap for that size and go to town on the new knob.

wow what a awesome answer. that is probably what i the problem is, how would you go abt finding the pitch?
