Do you know where to buy a bent bolt handle for the MN by chance?
The one company I found that makes them are out of stock/backordered
for months.

You can use a set of blocks to forge (red hot and bend it) it down,
you can cut it off, leaving a stump and then a new on the lathe and
weld it on. Use a flat piece of steel and make a "butter knife bolt
handle". Many solutions.
