This is not really going to help you I'm afraid, but I did this conversion last year at about this time. I got a new (and correct length) handbrake cable from TVR Parts.

I must say they were not super easy to deal with, but to be fair they sent the right one in the end. I've just looked up the invoice, but sadly they were still calling it a V8S cable. When I dealt with them though, they had two lengths, but they seemed to be stored all together. I would have thought after our conversation, they would have split them but it seems not.

I had a very similar experience when talking to them, been very helpful on other stuff though, I guess it depends on who answers the phone.
