The splined pot shafts are intended for use with plastic knobs. Traditional metal "Tele / P Bass" knobs are intended to be fastened by a grub screw onto a solid shaft pot.
It is possible to bodge proper Tele knobs onto a splined pot shaft by cramming something non-compressible into the split slot before attempting to tighten the grub screw. The consequence of doing this is that some of the splines on the shaft will be damaged where the grub screw tightens on. This damage could spoil the grip of the splines onto plastic knobs.
A compromise solution might be those hollow metal knobs with the plastic insert that pushes onto the splines. From a distance, it looks close enough to the real thing for a kit. I probably have a few spare ones in a box.
