   Most Truck Part places have engine shut off cables...I picked one up from parts for trucks in Halifax. It has a red knob labeled "engine off" and a cable long enough for most applicationsyou can cut the cable down for an exact fit. Under 30 bucks.

Dave,

Thanks for the suggestion. I did look at Lee Valley, but I did not find what 
you did. I bought the handle and installed. The total cost $2.50 (CAD).

To prevent epoxy from adhering to anything, you can use fiberglass mold 
release.  You can also use a fiberglass or automotive paste wax.  Or don't and 
just have the handle permanently attached.  Maybe some JB Weld?  JB Weld Putty?

Hello,

My t-handle on the engine shut-off has some broken threads. When I pulled the 
handle to turn off the engine, it stayed in my hand. It is a simple 
replacement, but I could not find a source anywhere in Canada. I found it on 
SBO and Catalina Direct, but with shipping, taxes, and after the exchange it 
comes to about $60.

I considered a proper thread insert, but a kit with a dozen inserts costs about 
$40.

I am thinking that there should be a way to restore the threads in a cheaper 
way. I was wondering if anyone has a reasonable way to do that. I am thinking 
about spreading some grease on a bolt with the correct size thread, putting 
some epoxy into the hole, and threading the bolt into the handle. The idea is 
that the epoxy should attach to the handle and not to the greased bolt. The 
thread is 1/4 - 20.

Am I completely out to lunch? Any ideas how to prepare he bolt, so that the 
epoxy won’t adhere to it?

Do you have a farm/tractor supply store nearby?  Take the handle there and
see if they have a similar replacement.  Should be about $15.

The engine stop control is something I would want to have confidence in.
