WWA Pump kit- anyone know of a clever way to extend my pump handle?

[The Inflicted]

I've got a WWA mini pump handle on my pump and have come to the conclusion that it just doesn't feel right in my hands. I'm wanting another 1-2" of length to the pump handle. I know WWA made an extra-long version of the pump handle, but that was years ago and he's long-gone.

I'm wondering know what my options might be to either extend my stock pump handle or replace it with something longer.

I thought about maybe bolting a golfball-sized... something to the front of it to give me a little extra length to hold on to, but I don't know exactly what that would be. Is there some common, semi-expendable object that would be easy to attach? Or perhaps a 3D-printed extension of some kind?

Alternatively, it looks like a lot of people are making and selling inexpensive replacement WGP/Empire pump handles these days but I haven't seen any offered specifically to fit the WWA kits. I would imagine it would be fairly simple to measure what the position of the center rod and guide rod are and have someone make something that would work, but I don't know how much time that would take someone and if it would be worth it.

Any thoughts on the easiest way to do this?

What about the slice kits offered by Autococker Parts dot com? I think you can make those longer or shorter, if I remember correctly.

I'd rather not replace the entire kit/ASA/rods, primarily for cost reasons.

Would be really groovy if I could just replace/extend my existing pump handle.

Clamshell 3d print part that step over the current pump handle?
Or a 3d printed part that replace the pump handle

I could try it to design and print something but it might take some time

If something were to be totally custom designed/printed it would probably be easiest to have the part interlock with the fins/ridges of the existing pump and interlock that way.

Easier just to 3D print a whole new pump handle

There’s a nice flat mounting surface of the front of the pump kit, so that’s helpful. How about something like a cut down hockey puck? You could cut it down to make it fit the dimensions of the pump handle.

I thought of a hockey puck!

Wonder if there's some type of readily-available plastic or aluminum washer that could be stacked.

I have a WWA pump kit, I'll check the various 3d printed handles i have and get back to you with which one fits the pump guide rod.

That would be excellent. Thank you!
I imagine that as long as the center rod is close it would be very easy to drill the handle to accommodate the starboard guide rod.

I looked high and low and don't see it anywhere. Sorry my man. I would recommend the 3D print version and have someone make you something longer to fit your WWA kit.

I recommend swapping the whole kit for a CCM or Slice. There are a few of us, like me, that can't stand the silly awkwardly far forward position of the CCM kit. Actually prefer the WWA or JCurt.
