Can the lee 2 cavity mold handles be removed?

I just got a Saeco 315 but have no handles and it's kind of hard to find them. I have a few of the Lee 2 cavity molds that come with handles. Is there a way to somehow remove those handles and use them for the saeco? If this did work, would it ruin the Lee mold, or would it be removable like it is with other mold designs?

They can be removed by taking an exacto knife or similar and cutting out the crimp that holds the pins in. You can then invert the mold and spill the pins out leaving the handles loose. Lightly tapping the base after the pins were reinserted would allow you to reuse that mold. I do not know if those handles would work on a SAECO mold even if you had to adapt them. I would guess that the nose is too short but that is a guess. At minimum the holes would need to be repositioned and the handle materiel might need to be thinned or shimmed. I would invest in SAECO handles or the Lee handles for 6 cavity and remodel those if it were me.
