Sorry for the delay in my response. I thought I replied a couple of days ago, but it never hit the screen?

Thanks for the heads up on the part number. I called my local Ford garage and they can probably get one from Germany at an inflated price. If it is not the same as mine when it arrives I may have to just keep it!
I have had a few Ford boxes over the years in Mexico/GT/Lotus etc and the levers are not interchangeable.
Ideally I would like to find a secondhand lever in good condition that I can inspect to check compatibility.
Many Thanks!
