I do not think so. The dual cavity handles are attached to the blocks with what appears to be a split pin. It looks like you would have to drill out the pin and the amount of material in the handles at that point is marginal.

The Lee 6 cavity handles is what will work. 12 - 18 bux is all they cost.

The Lee double cavity handles worked on my 2 cavity 268-134 but molds vary in size.

The double cavity handles are pinned in place and way way too thin ,true a industrious individual could umm engineer them to work but ....they could also just make a set ....the six cavity handles fit and function straight outta the box ( fer cheap with less effort and aggravation ) but .... It's your time/money [shrugz]

might as well order 5-6 pairs of them.
I never seem to have enough handles.

That makes sense, you have extra handles so you buy some molds but in the process buy one more mold than you have handles. So you order more handles, which leads to more molds which leads to not having enough handles. Certainly not the worst thing one might have happen. Heck might even qualify as a virtuous circle?

The Lee 6 cavity will work on 3 and 4 cavity NOE moulds, no modifications at all. I recently put the Lee handles on both....it works.
Every time I placed an order with midway I would get two extra Lee handles , the two NOE moulds depleted the last of my extra handles...should I buy more ? Or will that just open the door for more moulds ! I see a pattern developing here.

Every time I think I have a "handle" on my casting addiction..... I buy another mold.

I have noticed that handles that come up for sale in S&S forum never last long, nope not long at all.
