Will a 986 6 speed Boxster S shifter cradle/mount bolt right into a 987 Boxster S?

I have a quick question for you guys, I hope you don't mind, as it's a 986 AND 987 question. I had a Ben's short shifter in my old 986. I blew the engine in that car, and bought a 987 Boxster S (2005). I bought another of Ben's shifters for this 987 Boxster S. I have access to a complete shifter assembly from a 986. I would like to mount the new short shifter kit I got into this 986 plastic shifter cradle/mount so that I can keep the 987 factory shifter that's in the car intact in case I ever want to reinstall it in the car. The question is, will the plastic shifter cradle/mount from a 986 bolt right into a 987 and fit perfectly? Not sure if you guys know that one way or another. If you do please let me know.
