I was missing those same parts. I made the flat piece that holds the horn out of flat aluminum stock sprayed with black lacquer. I think I used the knurled cap from a spark plug for the start lever and a knurled screw with knob for the speed control, similar to the picture. Do a search for "knurled screw" and you will find a number of options. Finding original parts for these is a needle in a haystack search. You might find something that's similar in clock parts...

Sorry, I did this some years back and don't remember the size. I think that I tried various screw sizes until I found one that worked and then searched online for a knurled screw of the same size.
