Maybe being stupid here but need a spare handle for a bench vise and can't see anywhere listing them online, off the top of my head it needs to be 11mm diameter and about 350mm long.

Any suggestions?

Threaded bar and a nut at either end?

That's what he's using for now but want a nicer solution, might see if some of the local engineering crowds would threat the end of some bar and turn me a couple of knob out of plain nuts

I should be able to sort something for you.

Threaded bar would bend very easily surly? I’d use something decent like EN24t/P20 or something like that

I’d stick an M8 thread on the inside and turn up a couple of ends with an M8 thread on them and permanently thread locked on.
