Normally no. Most of the time with these units the handle itself is damaged and the replacement part is shipped to us with one already on it. Sometimes the handle isnt broken and our customer ships it to us with a cap on it. However in a few cases we get a good one that is missing it and we apparently have to replace it because its a part that is actually listed in the manual. Bla bla bla...
My overall point is that because of all the damn trace paperwork required for every little pice of crap, prices are insanely high for what your getting. Your more paying for a paper shuffle than the part itself. This is how a flimsy ass $0.05 pieces of plastic, regardless of how flight critical it is, becomes a $50 part.
I have every day screws that anyone could pick up at any hardware store for $0.01 each that cost $5 $10 or even $30 a pop just because they come with this magic paperwork that makes it "OK" to go on a plane.
