Help me "jury rig" this cabinet door pull please

[Gigem]

Two piece door pull for this cabinet, manufacturer unknown and Google Lens not helpful. The door pull on the right came apart a long time ago, and the connecting piece is long gone. I am usually good for "jury rigged" solution to purely asthetic issues like this, but my mind is a blank.

Any ideas for how to cheaply and easily reattached this pull and have it not look completely ridiculous?

The "boss" isn't looking for perfection, she'll accept "not stupid"...

Simplest is some wire looped around the middle of the handle then twisted on the back side.

You could get fancy and use a piece of copper wire or a SS wire tie if you wanted.

Cut a kerf in a small block of hardwood or aluminum. Screw or bolt from the back. Paint if desired.

 

[The Cobbler]

easy would be a u bolt that fit the spacing .but may not look the best .

Zip tie.

If it were me I'd break off the other one and zip tie it, too, so they would match.

What kind of tools do have access to to?

 

[Codyboy]

Shouldn't be too hard to fab up a piece of brass block for that.

Can you make something like this out of aluminium and push the tabs though the holes and bend them at the back like a bifurcated rivet

Follow up to my first response - are these the only two doors with these door pulls, or do you have a room full of them?
If there are others, disregard my original response.

My next question: If you do have a roomful, are there any others in similar disrepair, i.e. might you have to go through this again in the near future?

If so - Maybe now is a good time to consider replacing all of them.
If not - I stand by my original suggestion. It could be a clean look if you can somehow figure out a way to hide the ziptie 'knot' behind the pull plate.

Use a piece of copper or brass tubing. Anneal, split and flatten for a piece of material to make one out of by cutting and bending.

Great idea, I can work with that!

Using a brass cotter pin might meet the specifications.

You can often find brass sheet in hobby or craft or local hardware stores.

 

[Copymutt]

Explore a small brass grounding clamp. One half might just a little cutting or filing.

Often wondered about the term you used.
The Jerry version referred to Germans during WW11.

How hard would it be to replace the entire pull with a normal handle?

Nice....then adhere an Indian Head penny to it for aesthetics.

Look around in the electrical department.
