Any sources for a "bent" control stick?

Hi All,

I am searching for a source to buy one of the "bent sticks" with the elbow that moves the grio aft a couple of inches. My previous RV has it and I loved it, but my new one has the straight stick and it feels very awkward.

I was searching through the forums and it seems the gentleman who did them closed up shop. Are there any other sources for these currently?
 
On my previous project, I took the stick (and VERY specific dimensions and instructions) to a welding shop and had them cut and re-weld. I needed it 1/2” shorter to accommodate the grip and it turned out nice but the welds are visible - no real way around that. Smoothed it down a little and repainted. I have pictures somewhere but they are not handy.
 
I have a couple of RV-14 sticks if you could use those. They are just the "raw" powder coated stick with no grips mounted.
