Thread 'replacing tool rest lock handle, Oneway 1224'

I really do enjoy my 9-month-old Oneway 1224. Size, power, luxury car ride... Except, I am just not enamored with the U-joint yoke style locking handle for the tool rest on the banjo, not from day 1. If I recall, it is the same style of handle on all of their lathes, but possibly a smaller handle and thread size. The handle is riveted into a yoke which threads into the banjo. Yes, the banjo collar the yoke threads into can be re-oriented clockwise/counterclockwise to suit the user and change the angle the handle hangs at, but I just do not like that loose-in-the-yoke style handle...

Kipp makes what you have in some version of plastic, cast zinc, and all steel. I went all steel, it's gonna last forever. I bought direct from Kipp USA. I'm not sure if McMaster Carr is selling this brand (probably), but I also don't know if they sell all three handle materials.
