Default USA parts for Komet trailers?

outside handles for the front and back and a few other odds and ends.
They have an amazing tendency to turn brittle...



Why not replace with nicer/upgrade handles? I have used oval x-section
cast aluminum handles on my trailer (and tailwheel dolly. pfft -you
guys can keep your cheopo gate/trowel handles and love them.
Spendy, but damn they feel nice in the hand, even under high loads and
they are not going to get brittle and fall apart -ever... Strangely,
the handles I have are powedercoated black but somehow do not get too
hot to touch, even in full sun on 100°f days.

http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/116/2959/=9sepje I have style 20...
but all the handles there are several notches above the lame stock
Komet ones. 14, 15 and 16 look like the best candidates since the
handle style is similar and there are no through-holes to leak in the
future...
