Gear Lever (Original Column)

Hi All,
Looking for an original column gear lever. Mine must of been used as a Jimmy bar as it is slightly bent and needs chrome. The chrome plater takes 6-8 weeks leaving car out of service. Thanks in anticipation.
Regards
Stephen

I've found one, but I think FB-EK gear levers come in two types. I'm used to the kind where the pivot is on the outside of the bend; but this one has the pivot on the inside of the bend.
Are they interchangeable? Or have I got a Hydro gear lever by mistake?

Masterparts says the auto and manual levers are different.
If you get stuck I'll likely have one here, though not sure how good the chrome will be.
Cheers,

My FB workshop manual shows this.

(palms forehead) . . . Didn't think of looking in the EK shop manual . . .
Yep, the lever I have is as shown in the FB and EK shop manuals.
And another piece of trivia - the HD and HR manual gear levers are different. I think too many HD owners complained about punching the dash pad when shifting into second, so the HR manual lever has a downward crank to make it sit horizontal in neutral.
