I think other VW plastic e-brake handles fit right on.  Wouldn't be
surprised if the boot wouldn't swap, too.  I am going to try both items off
of my '89 Jetta this weekend.

a suggestion:

I stitched up (just like making leathers for oars) a bit of used saddle
leather to make a nice grip on my e-brake handle.

Did the same for my 1/2" ratchet drive, nicer to handle especially on cold
days.
