Hi Jon.
What I have done is attach the handbrake to the torque tube with u bolts and exhaust clamps (an idea burrowed from another post). Your Speedex shock absorber frame would probably have had tubes welded to the middle across the prop shaft tunnel (ok... flat bar and they've been removed...) that allow a Morris Minor handbrake to bolt straight on. I bought morris minor van cables and cut the fork ends off, shortened the outer to suit my mounting points then attached the adjustable fork ends from two old rear brake cables from my ORT. The new cable is too thin for the fork but an MOT tester friend suggested putting it through twice... I still need to one of those round tuits to finish the job, but it works.
I will try to post some pictures later...
