I just picked up and installed a new one from Cummins last night ~$22.

36-7/8" from the bottom to the point where it seats on the DS tube

33-1/4" from the top "safe" mark to the point where it seats on the DS tube

34-1/4 from the "add" line the point where it seats on the DS tube

I'm kind of curious what happened to the old one.

The handle of mine is cracked/broken whenr it seats on the tube.

I would think you could fashion one out of some 1/16" welding rod. But that may not be long enough since I think they are around 36" long. But it's good and flexy to go around the bend. Maybe if you just join a small piece to the end. Don't know what you do about a handle and stopper.
