I made one of these for a 1928 526 years ago. The original was steel and badly pitted. I measured the diameter and tried to find a piece of wire to match. To my surprise, the wire handle on a 5 gallon paint can was an almost perfect match.
I used the original as a pattern. Heat the steel up a little and you will find it easier to bend.
