MP40 Need Source for Stud for Cocking Handle

Cocking handle broke off from the bolt.
There is only about 1/2 of the stud left, so don't think it can be welded back on.
Anyone know of a source for studs and/or some one that can repair.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Man I should have proofed my post. (I just did. ---bil)
Unfortunately I can't find an edit button. (There is only one for the mods)
This is what it should have said:

Routinely available on G-broker.
May need to grind from the inside to free the remaining part.

The small piece that broke off came out the ejection port and hit my son's cheek.
Thankfully it did not penetrate the skin.
When the handle came off, it flew forward and went over a creek embankment.
It was a miracle we found it
Will check gunbroker.
Also just found a repro of complete handle assembly fror $79.
Would still like to use mine, since all I need is the stud.
