I believe the H/B cable is a TVR special. It may be worth trying to order the part from a dealer some of these parts are not that expensive from TVR. Alternatively Speedy cables may be able to help.
Are you sure it's the cable????? There is a lot of adjustment on the cables and I would be surprised if it's stretched that much. The H/B mechanism is auto adjusting and it does work if it's in A1 condition. Have you tried taking up the play with the screw at the top of the calipers??

Not had a chance to look at it yet as only just got the 400 of the jacks and then had to change the bent suspension on the MV6 - amazing what forve mud has on these modern cars

Will look this weekewnd once I've got some oil pressure registering on the 400
