iBook Specialist: help with Display Bezel

Ok, so my friend broke the frame inside his G4 14" display on his iBook G4. This is what I need:

except that is for a 12" G3.

I need the G4 version and I need the 14".

The question is, I found a display bezel and hinges and stuff, for like $19 but it says only for the G3. All I need is that frame piece. I have the hingest for it and stuff, so if It comes down to it, i can replace those. But will the hinge spacing, etc... be right that I can switch out a 14" G3 for a 14" G4 frame. Remember, that's ALL i need. Not even the wires and stuff.

Pretty well identical parts

I've swapped out entire display assemblies between G3 and G4 iBooks. Apart from the color of the plastics, the parts are pretty much identical, including the frame, back housing, LVDS cable (could be dependent on the LCD panel itself), inverter board, and microphone cable. The most obvious difference will be the AirPort antenna connector, so make sure you keep the proper one for your "patient."
