Default EF/EL chrome handbrake button into AU?

Hi All,

I have an EF/EL chrome handbrake button sitting here, I was just wondering whether anyone knows if it's a straight fit to an AU?

Thanks,

Justin.

I had both at one stage and tried using the metal NF button in the AU, but they are a totally different internal mechanism. So is the BA to AU, but i did manage to get that working until the BA "button" snapped at its flimsy hinge (common BA problem, i'm told).

BA button is the whole handle. No pics to hand, sorry.
