Schwinn Hinge Handlebar Post Suggestions

Time to get back to my Hinge handlebar mod. I want to completely replace this fork and have more handlebar options. Any suggestions, I would like something that slides down rather than fold over. See pic for measurements...

If you ship it out a lot of options abound .. R&E in Seattle , for one..

A threaded to threadless conversion Plug, in your fork, then a tube that fits over it,

and a second tube at the top that fits into the one below it. more a knock down than a
telescope into itself, like a whip antenna ,
