ive got the same handle and have noticed that the inside diameter of the handle is alot bigger than the handbrake(without the old sleeve on)
therefore i think it would be easier to slice off layers of the old handle and force the new alloy one over the top, squirt a bit of glue inside then tighten up the allen screw at the back , bobs your uncle!
this is how im gunna do mine anyway, hope it helps

You can use a bit of hose or rubber tubing to make it a tighter fit. I've seen that done before.

yeah i got some self amalgamating tape and wrapped it round the handle until the diam was a better fit for the cover, mine is a nice tight fit now, never moves thats the way to go and it preserves the old handle for when u sell the car or whatever
