Nice fix!! I did mine the hard way-- pulled the lever up, and hit it with a MIG welder. Just a little tack weld, but the lever is going to stay right there..

Ironically, I just made a similar part on my lathe and mill on Tuesday. I modeled it in solidworks, 3D printed a test part, and then turned and machined one out of some scrap aluminum I had laying around the shop. The threaded rod idea would have been a lot easier method. Nice job.
