I need to get a batch of these made up, fairly simply bent metal brackets with one hole drilled in them. Probably an initial batch of 100. This isn't really my area of expertise so who should I be looking to contact?

Is it reasonable to get a batch of 100 done? Alternatively some ready made items would be best. Are there any component suppliers who would have a catalogue of stuff like that that I could browse to find a match?

I would look in the Yellow pages for people local to you and get a few quotes.

The people I use (in Essex) would probably be too big for bits like that, but if needs be I can pass you the details.

You wont find them in a catalogue but a small fabricator or wrought iron worker would easily make them up for you out of flatbar.
What are they for?

They're brackets for the rear of VX220 and Elise S2 hardtops.
