Thwaites dumper with PH2 engine

[mbowm]

Hi there,

I've recently acquired an old dumper with a ph2 hand crank engine, it came with a start handle that appeared to be fabricated from some steel bar with a pin through the end which was used to lock into the lobes. This handle lasted all of about 5 minutes before I bent and snapped the pin, with possibly to over exuberant winding. Now 'm looking for a replacement handle that might be a bit more sturdy without much success, anybody know of a stockist of such or perhaps one that might fit from a different engine?

Thanks
Marek

Probably easier to mend the old one
