Abstract: Using holomorphic surgery techniques, we construct a homeomorphism between a neighborhood of any limb without root point of the Mandelbrot set and a neighborhood of any other of equal denominator, in such a way that the limbs are mapped to each other. On the limbs, the homeomorphism coincides with that constructed in ``Homeomorphisms between limbs of the Mandelbrot set'' (J. Geom. Anal. 9 (1999), 327-390) which proves - without assuming local connectivity of the Mandelbrot set - that these maps are compatible with the embedding of the limbs in the plane. Outside the limbs, the constructed extension is quasi-conformal.
