Should be a easy job, get the old 1 out & measure what size the shaft is to make the hole the right side.
Anyone who can use a lathe half decent can whip a new 1 up quite quickly

Phosphur bronze is the go, hard wearing, self lubricating whilst softer than the steel pin that the lever uses as a fulcrum.
