Thor Gemini Grey Water Handle

I was surprised to find that one of the two grey water handles on my Gemini was missing when I dumped my tanks yesterday. I looked at replacements and wasn't able to find one that would work for me. The issue is that the rods that the handles attach to are interior threaded and are help in place by a machined screw going through a hole in the handle. All the replacement handles I seen including the Volteras attach to rods that are threaded on the outside. I spoke to my local Thor dealer and the parts department seemed to have trouble identifying and ordering the part. I'm thinking it'll have to come from Thor somehow unless is possible to find out who their supplier is. Any thoughts? Thanks, Jimboe

Just a thought, go to hardware at lowes and buy a t-handle and some JBWeld epoxy. Rough up the end of the rod with sandpaper and glue the handle on with the JB Weld. The handle will never come off or get loose. Did this on one of my older RVs when I couldn't find a replacement handle.

Jim, depending on how the stock handle fits you may be able to glue it back on and not have to buy anything except the JB Weld!
