This works if you haven't stripped it too bad. Take the handle off. Wrap aluminum foil around the shaft. Slip the handle back on. This allowed me to go 3 or 4 extra years in the late 70's... until I could afford to buy new handles.

Yes this will fill some space don't add to much at the end of shaft.May make it tuff to get clip on.I think I would make a round piece like a straw.Then flare the end going on shaft then push handle on?

If you find that you can't repair the handle Verdone's in PA makes polished stainless steel duplicates that were made from molds of the original. I bought a rumble seat handle from them when the original handle broke. They can be reached at (717) 949-3341 Looks like chrome but much more durable than the original plated pot metal.
