Being lazy and cheap I would clamp the piece broken handle side up to a
plate using a pin thru the hole as a second reference for holding, If
necessary use a screw thru the hole depending on size. Now that you
have it affixed, probe profile and convert to dwg/cad. Machine off the
casting on the broken side about half way to the knob.
bolt down piece of Al and mil a rough +.01 to +.02 replacement; pin and
epoxy to handle, finish mill to final dimensions.
Done in two.
Did I miss something obvious?

Opens OK in Freecad 0.19 on my MAC.
I don't have any mac's, I don't want to test my fire insurance. I am the
long since retired CE at a tv station, a chair I held for 18+ years at
the end of the last century. They bought a couple mac G5's with some gfx
production software several years after I retired, paid about 30 grand
for all of it and both of them went up in flames that needed a fire
extinguisher to put out within 6 months, post mortem found a frozen fan
in each one. Std, BBLB, bronze bushing $0.95 fans. Needless to say, mac
told us to call somebody that cares, and mac's were removed from our
approved purchase list. The station built a new control room complex for
the digital conversion and now broadcasts 8 channels thru 2 transmitters
using 2 linux driven (centos) video file servers built in house. Records
4 channels from a satellite, and plays 4 channels to air each. The owner
died about 4 years back, his daughter sold it to Grey for an obscene
amount, and the first thing they wanted was for linux to disappear, they
were a windows operation. 3+ years later, those servers are still there
and still working, and have never aired a BSOD, so the cash cow never
goes dry, something the windows machines used by the weather channel did
several times daily. MBA's do seem to understand reliability, so I've
not heard of any make linux disappear memos recently.
But they have also lost their linux guy to the fbi at about a 3x raise a
year back. I think there's a potentially costly lesson someplace in
that. ;-) He built those servers from scratch.

FreeCAD_0.19-23578-Linux-Conda_glibc2.12-x86_64.AppImage, here on stretch
with 32gigs of dram, goes into a cancelable busy loop loading it, and I
let it chew on it for several minutes. No debug output to the terminal
so I've no clue what its upchucking over.
