Hi Don
  Sorry for top-posting and poor trims but I am again relegated to bad
webmail being out of town.  However my post should be short and sweet. 
While it is possible to find tubing that is threaded internally it might be
considerably easier to loacte replacement handles for rack mount cases
which are pre-formed and tapped.  They and a plethora of LEDs can certainly
be found in such catalogs as Newark, which I believe is still the big daddy
of them all  aside from Electronic Engineers Handbook series.  Also Radio
Shack still does carry a reasonable assortment of LEDs and possibly even
handles as would many Mom n Pop electronic supply houses which are
disappearing daily but still possible to find in most big towns.
Good Luck'
Jimmy
