Handle for Shimano RE 5000

Hi guys , as above i’m struggling to find a replacement double handle for one of my RE 5000 looked everywhere!! Shimano haven’t got any , just wondering if anyone has an old reel for spares or handle lying around?
Cheers Simon
 
Do dl 4000fa handles fit?if you can find out let me know as I'm waiting for single handles to come back into stock at a shop I use.
If they do I'm happy to sell pair to you .

I've got two spare double handles at home, can't remember if they fit my 5010s. In France till Sunday so I'll have a look when I get back
 
Tried um in both 5010s and 6010s but the spindle that goes into the reel is too large to fit Simon. I bought um from China having measured the spindle diameter on mine and surprisingly they aren't what they were supposed to be. So sorry m8 I can't help ya
 
might be worth taking a chance on these.

Derek, the top link is very similar to those I purchased. Regrettably the measurement tolerances aren't great hence those I purchased were like me, too fat round the middle 🤪
Sounds like me Steve 🤣

apologies for the delay Simon, been a bit under the weather. I do have a spare double handle but it’s off a 8010 so not sure if it would fit.
