I bought some from antique electronic supplies a few months ago. Hammond makes them.
Here’s hammond’s page of sizes they manufacture:
www.hammfg.com
Chassis Handles (1427 Series)
Hammond's 1427 series of chassis handles are a widely applicable accessory for panels, chassis, and drawers. These handles have a rounded steel design and include all necessary installation hardware. Available in a wide variety of sizes, handles have a natural chrome finish with some sizes also...
There's going to be little to no difference in drawer handles and what line 6 uses
These in 40mm and 50mm will fit a 125b but they're carbon steel, not stainless. At 26mm tall, I don't think they're too tall.
64mm will hang over the edge
I've found them smaller in stainless but can't locate at the moment.
The 50mm wide x 26mm tall is the same as offered by Hammond(2x1 in), just metric threaded.
I will say, use large M4 flat washers + a split lock washer and a quality screw. You want the large washer to spread out the tortion force if stepped on. Otherwise, if the screw doesn't snap, the enclosure may. Use the longest M4(or whatever) it will accept with the added washers and maybe consider a drop of blue loktite on the threads. You don't want that hardware coming loose and dropping down and shorting the PCB. A couple of dots of super glue to hold the hardware in place once it's all tight (in the event of a gorilla stomp) may be beneficial as well. That's what I did on a build for my 320+# bass player buddy. (He can't see the pedal and stomp on it at the same time...) Otherwise, screw snaps, washers fall, *buzz puff *...

It's a feel thing.

I've used old drawer handles that were being thrown out of a friend's garage.
No pics of them, but similar to these sorts:
Far more interesting than a simple bar, though simple can look good too.

I see your point.
