H/brake Balance Bar

Ideally, I need the h/brake balance gizmo from an Allegro. Which is now rarer than youknowwhat.

So, does anyone have a left-over part, which would connect the h/brake lever to 2 rear cables, and also incorporate a pivot? (To permit h/brake effort balance).

Alternatively, are there any suggestions for sources of similar h/brake mechanisms?

When I built my Westy about ten years ago, I had to find a steering column and handbrake compensator off an Alegro. The local scrappie had one Alegro, complete! I think I paid £10 for the column complete with ignition keys. He asked what the compensator was, then said, "Take it"
