This Bracket is the same on all Heralds, ond 1600 (Sports 6) and 2 Litre
Mk1 Vitesse. The bracket fitted to Spitfires and GT6s is not
interchangeable, and the 2 Litre Mk2 Vitesses were fitted with a
radically changed rear suspension. The parts you need are handed,
original part numbers being 120044 (LH) and 120045 (RH). 

I have some of these brackets spare (second hand), so if you can't track
any down in Canada/America, mail me and I can send some over (I don't
want anything for them, just cost of shipping). Hopefully thiugh, you
shouldn't have much difficulty finding them over there,

                Regards,

                        Bill.
