I got an aftermarket sway bar for my '72 Midget from Vic. British --
It appears to be simply an ADDCO bar (which means I could have saved
some $$$ by getting it from JC Whitney). It did not include new end
links, so I have to use the old ones. I agree they're pretty sorry,
but the end link mounting holes are horizontal so I can't just get some
other end link and stick it in. Of course, on the MIdget the A-Arm
mounting holes are also horizontal (and rotated 90 degrees in the
horizontal plane from the ones on the sway bar - Spridget owners will
know what I mean) so it's doubly difficult to use some other end link
to stiffen things up. If you come up with a good solution, let me
know.

Are you sure the UK prices are in dollars and not pounds? Those
are some significant differences.
