The swirl pot, rear engine brace, and shifter assembly can all be easily fabricated, probably much easier than trying to find the actual parts. The Chassis shop or Industrial Metal Supply has weld-in threaded tube adapters for the ends. Any shifter you fabricate using the methods discussed in other parts of Apexspeed will be vastly superior to anything made back in the day.
One place to go to look is the parts section of race-cars.com. Don't bother with posting something in wanted, it seems to be a haven for scammers. Look at the guys that are selling a lot of stuff and contact one of them and then work that network.
Original seat? why bother. You can make a better bead seat anyway.
Caliper brackets - if inboard, probably any MK9 brake bracket will work. If outboard, then it's likely any Lola FSV brake bracket will work. FSVs required TY III bearings and stub axles. the inner flange is a 4-bolt affair that was usually replaced with a flange/caliper bracket or had a caliper bracket welded to it.
