...as mentioned before...yep it's the Sprint as the third vehicle I'd 
heard used this set up.
Late GT6 MKIII, MGC, and the Sprint.

The little H is quite easy to make. A hacksaw and file are all that are 
needed
(BTDT)

the MGC link I sent before will at least get you the adjuster bar/brake 
cable attach lever.

The pushrod with adjuster wheel is the one part I know of no source for 
at the moment....
but it doesn't mean someone doesn't have NOS stock buried on a shelf 
somewhere...
...perhaps even not knowing what they are   :-(
