Missing hands for a Seth Thomas grandfather clock.

[WRLaw57]

I obtained a nice, simple grandfather case for free. The movement was trash (plastic snail gears that had broken), so I cleaned and repaired a 1976 Seth Thomas USA-made movement I had. It's running nicely (see pics). The problem I've run into is the friggin' hands. The minute hand post (square) measues slightly larger than many- at 0.085 inches or 2.2 mm. The hour tube outer diamater is 0.185 inches (4.7 mm). I have searched most of the standard clock parts suppliers, and no one seems to have anything that would fit. Without getting into trying to micro-file a smaller bore set of hands to fit, does anyone out there have any advice, or access to hands that would fit?

Thanks
Bill
