If you have a Dax, AK or GD with an XJS folding/fly-off handbrake lever, you may be interested to know that I've discovered a source of brand new ones for £64 (€75).
They are available from a UK company (E-Equipe) on eBay and Amazon. Here are the links:

They are for a 1995 Aston Martin DB7, but they are absolutely identical to the Jaguar XJS version. Although these are described as LHD, the levers can be easily reconfigured for LHD or RHD by removing the link rod and inserting it from the other side. Note that these do not include the microswitch, but these are available for around £2-£3 from electronic component suppliers like Maplin, for example:

I posted this on the UK Cobra forum last night, and people have already started ordering them - one guy has just ordered five! So if you need a new lever, grab them quick before they run out or the price rises.
They must be really puzzled as to why after all these years there's suddenly a rush for 1995 DB7 handbrake levers!
