I got the hand brake lever knobs in and they were exactly what I needed. They did have some kind of unidentifiable thread inside that was close enough to jam onto a 3/8” UNC. I machined down a short stub of 3/8” to 5/16” on one end and drilled a 5/16” hole into the end of the lever. Cut into that hole and plug welded the stud in then cut to length.
I welded the handles onto the pivot block, and gave them a bit of a kink for more hand clearance. All painted up and almost done.
