Is this handle appropriate for a JTM45
It's my block logo clone with smooth tolex and RS OT. Same era amps most often had a short black leather handle with square end caps, but I have seen some with brown handle and rounded end caps. All shorter than this though. I've had this MG handle lading around for a while and the amp has been handle-less for years. Should I just slap it on?

I've gone for short with square ends (do have some round ends too) as I think they are more correct.
BTW, is there a source you know of for the slightly thicker gold strip for the front head box?

Any place to get the shorter handles? And/or square end caps?
I used to have an extra piece of that gold fascia, but sold it years ago. My cab was made by Ray Domzalski, so he may have a source? Or did I send mine to him for installation? I really can't remember...

Is it being held together with T nuts?
