I've never seen one of those before. That's funny! Good luck with your search.

If you're set on a specific ****, buy one and drill/tap it yourself. 9/16" threaded ***** are far and few, but 9/16" taps are very available

You want a 9/16-18 bottoming tap like this one: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/02384311
Handle: https://www.mscdirect.com/product/details/05040050

If the **** already has a BIGGER hole you'll need to put an insert in it. Any machine shop can handle the whole job for you.

The letters on those ***** are often times stick-on vs etched in. Try reaching out to TwistedShifterz.com to see what it would run to have one custom made for you.

Thanks for the suggestions on taps and such. I have a full set of metric & imperial taps/dies. Don't think I can drill and tap existing hole for 9/16 thread (0.563 in.) when M16 is 0.630 in.. Seems like it might be sloppy..... . A new insert would be the way to go.
