    Any good ideas for connecting this motor shaft to a lever ?
    Should i make my own coupler/attachment ?
    Should i buy a coupler (which would you recommend?) and just weld the lever onto it?

    Depends on how much DIY you want to do and what your budget is. I've always made my own, never tried to source them commercially.
