I haven't done this particular job, but I've thought about it and looked 
it up in Bentley/Haynes, and I have a feeling it's a PITA.  If you do the 
job, please post your insights/revelations here.

If the cables and levers are basically OK (it's hard to understand how 
they could go very wrong) I'd start scouring the junkyards to see if you 
couldn't scrounge up the hardware.  It might be easier and more fun!!
