Hi Folks: The HG I bought came without a hand crank.

I need to stop by the metal shop to purchase some round stock so that I can fabricate one.  

Would someone please be so kind to provide the dimension of the round stock, and the segment lengths for the bends.  

I will use a hardened solid pin to finish the contact end.  

Thanks in advance for your thoughts or suggestions.

Ours are 3/4" rod, with a 3/8" cross pin  (a bolt!). The offset is about 7", and is about 2" clear of the grill. Handle is 5", no nice swivelling handle like the one in the picture!
