Looking for a spare DSLR Nauticam Handle. Specifically need a right handle but would also take a pair.

Have your tried Bluewater, Backscatter and similar equipment stores?

Yep, they sell pairs and/or are out of stock on the individual handles and don't want to split up a pair.Since I only really need one I was hoping someone had one laying around I could get rather than buying new.

AliExpress sells several camera trays with handles.

Might it be possible to adapt one of these tray handles to fit  your housing.?

Love the out of the box thinking! The aliexpress ones might work with an adapter. Thinking I might just 3D print a backup and bring some glue so if one breaks I can glue it and if it's beyond gluing I could use the printed one. Have a trip in a couple weeks so starting to run low on time for things to be shipped to me.

If you glue it, it might be a good idea, as a backup, to also screw the broken pieces together.  This is because the handles are subject to a lot of leverage and kinetic energy while being handled. 

I also use a rope handle attached to the top of the two handles, for carrying the housing assembily and for making it easy for the boat crew to grab and handle it.
