Hi I have just acquired a db10v now I have to justify it to the missis so first of was the missing cooker button ( not impressed lol) next is the broken winder for my van fiat wants over £200 to replace it.
I drilled it then locktited a bolt in it at first it worked for a while.
I tried a through pin but that started damaging the what was left of the spindal
Now I have the lathe I was wondering if any one had any idea
At the moment I'm thinking of a Collet .

Hi Steven,
From your description I can't visualize exactly how the handle is broken. Some pictures of the broken item would be a great help.

Your best bet might be breakeryard.com you should be able to get one for a fiver.
 
You can always tell the S.O. you made it on the lathe...

Even with the picture is not easy to see whats needed for the repair.
 
On the basis that at some time after you have fixed it the handle will need to be removed when access is needed inside the door, the repair should be capable of being dismantled.
 
If you drill and tap the shaft and put in a decent thread (M5 or M6 say) you could file the outer part of the shaft to it has a slight taper. If you do this with a coarse file you should be able to end up with what is in effect a tapered spline. Then put a slightly tapered hole in say a brass or aluminium bush which you can attach your handle to. Using a cap head bolt you can securely lock the two parts together.
 
If the shaft is steel and the bush is some softer metal the drive will be very strong, the two tapers dint have to be perfect, the rigged surface and the bolt tension will combine resources.
 
As others have said, a trip to the scrapyard might be easier.
