How have you found the fitment of the replacement over time? Is there any play in the handle?

Always wondered given those clips dig into the plastic, if they would get play in them over time (I re-plastic welded mine)

I added hot melt glue around the stubs (after melting them with a big soldering iron) and behind the handle insert shell before I installed it a couple of months ago. Not likely anything will shift over time. Can't tell the difference.
My pack didn't have the clips and I didn't realise I was meant to get them. I hadn't seen the DIY linked here and probably why mine was so much cheaper off ebay.
I already had the trim off, so I thought stuff it, it's happening now and I'm not driving to Bunnings. Whatever is in the shed and will hold the stubs will do, said me to me.

There is liquid plastic available. I have a kit. It works great as an alternative to plastic welding.
