Handle for a Reed/Craftsman 5180

[thundermug]

Hello all. I have a Craftsman/Reed 5180, and I believe the handle has been replaced with what you see in the picture below. I am currently planning to fabricate a proper one. But, I need the correct measurements before I begin.

Would someone be good enough to measure your 5180 handle? Or for that matter, Reed 104R. I need the overall length, bar diameter, and ball diameter. Thanks in advance.

11 3/4 long 9 1/2 inches between balls handle is 6.015 "
These are off my Reed 104r. I don't have a larger micrometer for diameter of
the balls. Mine is also the flat nose style as you have pictured.

It looks like balls are about 1 7/32".
