Flat steel with two holes...just like the bracket in my gallery but don't bend it. Make it shorter.
My hbrake has some sort of pressed copper? tube inserted in a way that it will not come out (rolled outer edges) but it does not rotate. This would not provide a rotating fulcrum action if I attached the threaded adjusting end of the cable to this point.

I drilled out the original pivot thingy and now use a thru bolt and piece of tube to act as a spacer
If I attach the clevis yoke I can align the hbrake hole with the two holes in the yoke and attach with some form of bolt but side room is tight. Is this the best way to go? This then leaves adjustment as Rebel indicated to be made beneath car.

Space the hand brake lever further from the tunnel. Remember you have to get your hand/fingers around the lever so you need a bit of room.
Also is it advisable to put a rubber grommet in the hole in the rear cabin wall through which the hbrake cable will pass to protect the cable outer from wear against the metal sides of the hole it is passing through?

Yes

Additionally both cable ends terminate in the same stepped metal sleeve, one end of which fits into the jag hbrake caliper attachment point. Is it advisable to clamp the hbrake end using a type of clamp eg like a clipsal conduit clamp?

You will prolly have to shorten the cable....when you do that you can put nuts on the stepped ends
I have presumed that this end and part of the handbrake cable passes through the rear steel of the cabin though it looks in your pic Andrew that the hbrake end of the cable does terminate in the rear wall. What is the go here?

You could terminate at the rear bulkhead nd just let the inner cable continue to the hand brake......or you could fix the outer cable to the side of the tunnel.
Cheers guys

Hope this helps in some way.
