NOTE!!!! For OEM look and quality product; Awesomeness is looking into producing a great product for door handles.... see https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?180261-Who-needs-interior-door-handles
sounds like it is probably stronger in the long run than the below proposals and would be a fix it once deal.... instead of breaking again with use down the road.
. Volvo 240 Window Crank/door latch handle- has been reported a Volvo 240 80's era model looks similar to OEM widow crank. Can also be used for door opening handle. Came across them in tan blue and black at an auction site about 10 bucks each. Might can remove the window crank nob to give more of a door latch handle appearance? (Thank you Suprman for this info)
. Aftermarket aluminum handle (Crank and door)- appears below might work
Order two if you want matching window crank and door opener? The knob for window cranking removes with a Cee clip leaving you a door handle look. can be found online using:
"Black Aluminum Car Manual Door Handle Cranks Window Winders Set 1/2" round 3/8" square 7/16" round with 16 splines (Pair)" they are less than 15 bucks / pair

If you want a solid look.. fill gap with epoxy and repaint? Probably will add strength as well making them last longer.
Please post up handles you find that have or appear to probably work.
PS-contacted Dorman products and they had no way to search products by anything but auto make model and year for there products.

- 16 spline count adapter- according to measurements previously mentioned of 16 spline count and what appears close to a 7/16th shaft size ( Matters how you measure it?) 7/16th is apparently universal across auto manufactures for door and window handles in the past so odds look good? (thank you Awesomeness for your measurements)
- square adapter.... appears the square shank used with door handles is also rather universal across auto manufactures. So again odds look good?
