Got mine from McMaster Carr. They have zillions to chose from.

Got mine at Home Depot, Aviation Dept. - Drawer pulls, not zillions to choose from but several styles and no UPS freight.

Default handles
consider the mount. I suggest horizontal rather than angled down. My RV6 had them angled down and it was easy to hit my head on them in turbulance.

Stainless steel draw pull, mounted mine on the support member for the slider roll bar rather than the roll bar so it is a little further forward and lined up with my hand, works well for either seat
