Look for Beltfed34 on Ebay he has a lot of different brake handles listed. Some look close to the kind needed on M101 rtailers and may work.

M101A2 sides and tops

I have 3 of these trailers right now and many more in the past. I would like to offer a few suggestions; be very careful buying the brake handles, many pieces of military equipment use SIMILAR handles and I have a box of close but not quites to prove it!, Spend the extra time to find a set of the fiberglass side racks verse the old wood ones, whether for show or use, you will be much happier, same for the new style tops from GMA they are a good product and NOS canvas is hard to come by these days and alot heavier. Good hunting
cheers

bombtech Thanks for the input. Yep I already have 2-brand new brake handles that will probably stay that way for a long time.

Do you have the NSN? I have an NOS handle but compared to my M116A2 it's about 4" shorter. Same with my M101A1. I don't know if the A2 and A3 had different handles or they were all the same.

check out ebay / i also am looking a different tarp / check out chicago_canvas on ebay
they have extra heavy duty tarp that are water proof / you could buy the size you need and then take it to a local awning and tent shop and have them saw it to your spec / if you go this wrought / i can measure mine and let you know or you could bing-it for spec's
