Default 1980 FLT Question about shift levers

My bike has a long toe lever and a short heel lever, which I find a bit cumbersome on the floorboard. I am looking to go with two long levers.

Does anyone know about the shaft diameter and splines, if they changed over the years?

Thanks!

Just get another toe lever, and turn it over. Use the old heel one to reference the spline diameter.
