I found a part I'd given up hoping to find several years ago. The part is so rare an hard to find that not only does it not have a part number from the usual supects, but there's not even a drawing of it in the catalogs. It's that little bracket that the emergency brake cable barrel fits into that's over the rear axle. Only place I've seen 'em is ON cars. ....
Now if only I could find some of the T-bolts that hold the trim onto the rear cockpit of a MK III Sprite.........

These look like reproductions of the racing manifold's fitted to John Sprinzels "Sebring Sprite". Jonathon Whitehouse Bird,I believe, did a great article on the restoration of EAO 410 sebring sprite alloy coupe. Start Googleing and I believe you will come up with very interesting info.

Thank you KA, I suspect that the inlets are indeed some of the Donald Healey performance parts the Healey's sold. Given the goggle find that all the Healey parts started with a “Q”.
I do think it strange there is no porting provision for a balance pipe as with the Sprinzel style. I’ll do more digging to verify them, kinda fun to run across them. The guy who had them was asking $5.00 for the pair, I didn’t dicker.

The Q was the prefix for SCCA legal performance parts factory supplied parts in the early 60's I think?
The balance tube could be added by the builder. I beieve some ran without the balance tube. Needless to say some of the factory mods did not work very good
