Handbrake cable comes from a mk5 RS2000, you may find that you need longer brake hoses too. Can't help you on the thickness of the bracket though mate as I bought mine from Mike Rainbird, a trader on here.

As a general rule 7-10mm steel plate should be used.

Brackets can be bought for around Ł30 pair so unless you have machine shop facilities it may not be worth making them.
