What I found to be the key (or....at least made it easier) was to get the correct carburetor post from an auto parts store. The threads for the silver knob are different than the threads that go into the top plate. Those two threads match the threads on a common carburetor bolt. I'll update this post if I find those specs.
I think some cut off the cable at the end that goes into the plate...leaving enough to attach the silver handle to the remaining end. I didn't want to do that in case someone wanted to return it to its original configuration.
EDIT: It appears 5/16" carburetor stud - 18 tpi on one end and 24 tpi on the other end
