The U/J bolts sheared on my 76 Spitfire 1500OD, resulting in damage to the
guide which routes the handbrake cable through (almost) 90 degrees. I have
contacted many places looking for a new one (including the Moss catalog)
but no-one seems to supply them anymore.

Does anyone know of a UK stockist ?

I tryed removing one off a scrap car at the weekend but gave up after
2 hours and damaged knuckles, figuring that the part was gonna cost me
about 20-30 quid in hacksaw blades alone :).

btw - The bolts sheared because the previous owner used non HT bolts. Bastard.
