[Healeys] handbrake parts needed

Caution on the interchangability of "e" brake handle parts for Sprite
and Big Healeys.  The mounting plate with the two large screws is a
mirror image on the two models. One mounts on the left of the gearbox
tunnel the other on the right.  Therefore the "brake off" stop, the
little piece of the mount that sticks out at the end of the teeth, is
always down. Sprite's don't have the spacers and the mounting screws
are different length.  In short just check the bits for fit before
prepping them for final assembly. Been there....done that.

Yes. All healeys, including Sprites.B 
Chrome arm is different. Most of the rest is the same (rod, pawl, knob
etc).B 
Probably the same as minis too.B 
Take yours, and have a BMC wrecking parts adventure!!B 
Many BMC cars of the same era shared the same parents.B
