There are two hex camera mounting plates for 3047 tripod heads and similar. One has a 3/8” screw and one has a 1/4” screw. $15 including CONUS shipping and Paypal.

There is one tripod head handle for 3047 heads and similar. The handle is 55mm from the end of the rubber part of the handle to the “hub” just before the threads. $25 including CONUS shipping and Paypal.
 
Keith, I'll give you $7.50 for just the 1/4" plate.
 
Any idea what the thread size is on the handle?
 
Likelely M8, in any case metric.
 
Well, you wrote "and similar". My Manfrotto head is. And even stronger... and it is M8...
 
I measured mine, before posting. But I admit I should not have come over with just my idea that my similar Manfrotto head would have the same size thread size as yours (but who expects a even somewhat less sturdy head to have larger threads?)
And you should not have stated as fact your lever would fit other similar Manfrotto heads too.



Another reason for my posting was hinting at the Manfrotto threads being metrical.
Something that John of course knew, though maybe others not.

Hi gentlemen,
FWIW I didn't mean to start anything here.
The reason I asked is that I've got a Gitzo Rationale #3 that's missing
one handle and of course it's a 7mm.
Thank you both for helping out though.
